What is the difference between t8 tube and t5 tube?
Mainly in the following aspects:
1. Outer diameter size: T8 outer diameter is usually 26mm, T5 is 16mm;
2. tube holder specifications: T8 tube corresponds to G13 tube, T5 corresponds to G5 tube;
3. In addition, the length, the corresponding power, and the tube pressure and tube flow corresponding to the fluorescent tubes are also different.
Of course, at present, unless you are particularly fond of fluorescent tubes, LED tubes are basically the main ones. Whether traditional fluorescent tubes are T8 tubes or T5 tubes,
There is no advantage in almost all aspects such as price, power saving, luminous efficiency, lifespan, etc. Moreover, in the current market, it is necessary to buy ordinary T8 tubes, tri-color T5 tubes are not easy to buy, and the mainstream of the market is already LED tubes. , including T8LED tube and T5led tube.
With the implementation of the country's "white ban" policy and the continuous promotion of LED tubes, many families have gradually begun to replace the lighting fixtures in their homes. So, as the most commonly used tube in the family, how should you choose it? How to distinguish LED tubes? Let's talk about the difference between the commonly used T5 and T8 tubes.
Size difference:
The size of the T8 tube is 26MM, the size of the T5 tube is 16MM, and the diameter of the T5 tube is smaller.
Calculation:
T8 diameter = T*8 = 1 inch = 26MM
T5 diameter = T*5 = 5/8 inches = 16MM
where T is the diameter code, T = 1/8 inch.
The difference in brightness and energy saving:
Since the tube diameter of T5 is much smaller than that of T8 and T12 tubes, the probability of elastic collision between the inert gas atoms filled with electrons and electrons 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 tube tube and help the tube tube to jump, but also can appropriately reduce the inflation pressure of the tube tube. Further increase the luminous flux output of the tube. Therefore, although the power of the tube is lower, the total luminous flux is not reduced, so the light efficiency of the tube is improved, that is to say, T5 is brighter and more energy-efficient than T8.
Difference in length:
The average T5 tube is 5CM shorter than the T8 tube (the length is different, and the interface is different), so we should fully consider the size of the tube when we carry out the project transformation. If the previous tube panel was used T8 tube panel for energy-saving renovation For LEDs, you can directly replace the LEDT8 tube. If you want to save energy by replacing the T5 tube, you need to add a conversion bracket to install it. However, please note that if you use a T5 tube panel for energy-saving renovation, you cannot replace the LEDT8 tube tube, because it cannot be installed in this way, unless you change the tube panel, but the cost is too high, you can only Replace with LEDT5 tubes.
The difference in price:
Some friends say that it is more energy efficient to change T8 to T5, so there are two issues to be concerned about, one is the cost of tube transformation, and the second is the price of LEDT5 tube and LEDL8 tube, which one is cheaper? In fact, the price is generally not much difference, if there is a difference between 2-5 yuan. So we only need to look at the size of the tube panel to decide whether we use LEDT8 tubes or LEDT5 tubes.
T5 and T8 are mainly the difference in pipe diameter. T stands for 1/8 inch and an inch is 25.4mm, and "T" is 3.175mm. Our T5 integrated tube diameter is 20mm, and the T8 integrated tube diameter is 28.5mm.
Generally speaking, the T5 integrated tube produced by the LED tube manufacturer Guangyin Lighting has economical models and boutique types, which are widely welcomed by consumers in the market. Compared with other T5 integrated tubes, the boutique type adopts aviation aluminum materials. The base is good for heat dissipation, the high-grade pc material is different from the general plastic material, and the professional driving high-brightness foot tile improves the overall performance of the led tube.
The material of the LED tube will directly determine the quality of the heat dissipation function, and the LED tube materials produced by the LED tube manufacturers on the market mainly include: glass, aluminum-plastic and all-plastic tubes.
At present, the LED all-plastic tube is the most sold in the market. Most of the LED all-plastic tubes produced by LED tube manufacturers have heat dissipation holes in the design, using acrylic tubeshade with high light transmittance, plastic It is made of pc material with excellent thermal conductivity, and the tube base is made of aluminum material to dissipate heat faster. Compared with other lighting fixtures, the LED itself has high conversion rate and low energy-saving heat. Under normal circumstances, there will be no high temperature softening or burning.
Nowadays, Internet shopping has become more and more part of modern people's lifestyle, and led lighting is easier to rise because it is more worry-free and labor-saving than the market. As far as LED tubes are concerned, the brand and performance of the product are a headache for many laymen. The Internet has greatly reduced this concern. Internet plus lighting is a sales model that combines the Internet of Things and intelligent applications. It is suitable for use in the new LED industry. Internet + "lighting" will trigger a major change in the LED lighting industry, and at the same time guide LED manufacturers to directly transform the main battlefield from the offline market to online transactions, which will greatly accelerate the market share of the LED lighting market.
