T8 tube specification length
The T8 tube is a type of fluorescent lamp (or fluorescent tube, fluorescent tube, or fluorescent tube) with a diameter of 1 inch and about 25 mm. It is a type of gas discharge lamp. It uses electricity to activate mercury vapor in argon or neon gas to form plasma and emit short-wave ultraviolet rays, causing phosphors to emit visible fluorescence for illumination. The general fluorescent tube is made of glass, with sockets at both ends to connect the power supply and fix the position of the fluorescent tube.

Unlike electric bulbs, fluorescent tubes must be equipped with a ballast (also known as a "ballast"), which cooperates with a starter to generate instantaneous high voltage that allows gas to ionize. Some new types of fluorescent lamps use a different ionization method from traditional fluorescent lamps, eliminating the need to use ballasts and starters, which greatly saves power and reduces the size, so that it can be used in the socket of traditional light bulbs, also known as "energy-saving lamps" or "Energy saving bulb."
