What are the differences between LED light tubes T5 and T8?
1. The difference between the diameter and size of LED light tubes T5 and T8
The diameter of the T8 light is 26mm, the diameter of the T5 light is 16mm, and so on, the diameter of the T12 light is (12/8)×25.4=38.1 mm, and the diameter of the T10 light is (10/8)x25. 4=31.8mm. Theoretically, the thinner the tube, the higher the efficiency, which means that the same wattage will reflect more light.
2. The difference in length and size of LED light tubes T5 and T8
The average T5 light is 5CM shorter than the T8 light (the length is different, and the interface is different), so we should fully consider the size of the light when we carry out the project transformation. If the previous light panel used a T8 light panel, you can directly replace it with LED tube T8, if you want to change the T5 tube, you need to add a conversion bracket to install it. If the original light panel is a T5 light panel, you cannot replace the T8 light tube, because it cannot be installed, unless the light panel is replaced, but this cost is too high.
3. The difference in brightness between T5 and T8 LED light tubes
Because the tube diameter of LED light tube T5 is much smaller than that of T8 and T12 tubes, the probability of elastic collision between the inert gas atoms and electrons filled in the tube is higher, and the energy loss is smaller, which is also very beneficial to the improvement of light efficiency. . Since the inert gas charged is a unique inert gas mixture, it can not only better protect the cathode of the light tube and help the light tube to jump, but also can appropriately reduce the inflation pressure of the light tube, and further improve the luminous flux output of the light tube. Therefore, although the power of the light is lower, the total luminous flux has not been reduced, so the light efficiency of the light has been improved, that is to say, the T5 is brighter and more energy-efficient than the T8.
Fourth, the difference between the application neighborhood of LED light tube T5 and T8
T5 and T8 lights have their own uses. T8 split lights are widely used in public areas, schools, factory workshops, hospitals, office buildings, warehouses, offices, government agencies, bus advertising, subway stations, etc. It is ubiquitous, and the T8 tube is easy to integrate the built-in power supply. Due to the small diameter of the T5, it is currently difficult to directly integrate the driving power into the traditional light tube. Only through integration can the power supply be built in or directly external. method. In this way, T8 is far better than T5 in terms of replacement demand and the complexity of replacing lights. But in the field of home decoration, T5 is better than T8, because now the circle of lights around the ceiling of home decoration either use soft light strips or T5 lights, and basically no one uses T8, because the circle of lights around the ceiling is only Need to play the role of an auxiliary lighting.
