T4 Fluorescent Tube / Bulb 10W

Product Information

The number of watts will be indicated after the F on the fluorescent tube. As an example, an F8 tube with 24 watts will have the number F24T8. The level of light output will also have a bearing on the wattage of the fluorescent tube. The efficacy of the fluorescent tube will range from around 16 lumens per watt for a 4-watt tube with a regular ballast to more than 100 lumens per watt for a tube featuring a modern electronic ballast. The level of light emitted from the fluorescent tube is also affected by the lamp temperature in the coldest area of the lamp. Fluorescent Tube Choices by Size These tubes from Leyton Lighting have plastic end caps that can be removed. This makes the tube slightly shorter which can help with installation into some brands of light fitting. In short, the difference between t5, t8, and t12 lights are the sizes and energy efficiency. The smaller t5 and t8 tubes use less energy and have less mercury in them than T12 bulbs. How do I know which fluorescent light bulb to buy?
