Difference between t5 lamp and t8 lamp. How long is the life of the lamp?

T5 lamp and t8 lamp difference? Do you know? I believe that many people do not understand the relevant knowledge in this regard. Although these two kinds of fluorescent tubes are fluorescent lamps, they have their own characteristics. What should the two types of lamps t5 and t8 be selected? What are the differences between t5 lamp and t8 lamp? Today Xiaobian talks about the difference between them and their service life.

First, what is t5 lamp and t8 lamp

Before we understand the difference between t5 and t8 lamps, we must first understand what t is in front of the t5 and t8 lamps. "T" stands for "Tube," which is tubular, T8 is 8 "T", and a "T" is 1/8 inch. One inch is equal to 25.4 mm. Then every "T" is 25.4÷8=3.175mm. It can be seen that the diameter of the T8 lamp is 25.4÷8×8=25.4mm. Then the diameter of the T5 lamp is (5/8) x 25.4 = 16mm.

1. What is a t5 lamp?

T5 fluorescent tube (T5-fluorescent tube) is a kind of fluorescent lamp or fluorescent lamp, light tube, and fluorescent tube. Its diameter is 5/8 inch and its diameter is about 16 millimeters. It belongs to low pressure gas discharge lamp.
It uses an electric field to activate mercury vapor in an argon-helium mixture (fanning gas) to form a plasma discharge and emit a short-wave ultraviolet light, so that the three-color phosphor on the inner wall of the lamp emits visible light.

2. What is a t8 lamp?

The T8 lamp is a type of fluorescent lamp (or fluorescent lamp, light tube, fluorescent tube) with a diameter of 1 inch, about 25 millimeters, and belongs to a gas discharge lamp.
It uses electricity to activate mercury vapor in argon or helium, forms a plasma and emits short-wave ultraviolet light, causing the phosphor to emit visible fluorescence for illumination. The general fluorescent tube is made of glass, and sockets are provided at both ends to connect the power source and fix the fluorescent tube.

  

Second, the difference between t5 lamp and t8 lamp

Both the t5 lamp and the t8 lamp belong to the low-pressure gas discharge lamp. T5 is a new type of energy-saving fluorescent lamp, t8 lamp when the traditional fluorescent lamp. Their difference lies mainly in their three aspects: size, brightness, energy saving, and longevity.

1, size

About the difference between the t5 lamp and the t8 lamp, the argument is different. In fact, the difference between the t5 lamp and the t8 lamp is very obvious. The size of the t8 lamp is much larger than that of the t5 lamp. With a size of 16 mm, this is easy to see. This is also the easiest way to identify the t5 lamp and the t8 lamp.

  

2, energy saving

From the energy-saving can also see the difference between t5 lamp and t8 lamp, t5 lamp is more energy-efficient than t8 lamp, 5 lamp is small, the probability of discharge of gas touches the wall is greater, so the same lighting In the time, the t5 lamp requires less power, so t5 is more energy efficient than t8 in choosing an energy-saving lamp.

3, brightness

Similarly, because of the large size of the t8 lamp, filled with more electrons and inert gas, the brightness generated when energized is also greater, so if you want a brighter lamp t8 lamp is more appropriate than the t5 lamp.

4, life

The service life of the t8 lamp is 6000 to 8000 hours, and the t5 lamp has a very low damage rate due to the use of a new technology lamp. Its service life is much longer than that of the t8 lamp.

  

Third, the lamp life is generally how long

How long is the lamp life? General t5 lamp life of 50,000 hours or so, the lamp life is also related to the number of starts, if you frequently switch the lamp, will shorten the lamp life, after opening to determine no need to close, so to a certain extent, can protect the lamp life.

The above is the introduction of Xiaobian to bring you the difference between the t5 lamp and the t8 lamp, as well as the life of the lamp. I hope we can give you some help. Need to remind everyone that, t5 lamp is a new type of energy-saving fluorescent lamps, energy saving and service life are more in line with the concept of environmental protection and energy saving, so when we buy the lamp, the first need to consider the size of the lamp, in the size allows In case, please try to choose t5 lamp.
