FLUORESCENT Tubes & Bulbs (all sizes / all shapes)
You can determine a Linear Tube's type ( T4 / T5 / T8 / T12 ) by comparing it's 'tube width' - to a standard Canadian $1 - 'loonie'
- T12 - is 1.5 inches in diameter and should be wider than the loonie
- T8 - is 1 inch - about the same width as the loonie
- T5 - is .625 inches (slim) - about half the width
- T4 - is very thin (and not commonly used) at only 1/2 inch in width
NOTE
: The "Length" measurements of fluorescent tubes - usually -
include the pins
on both ends of the bulb
(*known exceptions are T4's - specifically the F24/T4)
