What is the difference between t5 and t8? Usually, it is difficult to distinguish between the LED T5 tube light and the T8 LED tube light. Now let's to learn more about LED tube lights and we would like to List four main different points between t5 and t8.
First: Sizes of Tube Light
T5 LED tube is thinner than T8 LED tube, As we known, one “ T” equals the length of 1/8 inch, so ONE t8 is one inch, Simultaneously,T5 LED tube diameter is 5/8 inch.
Calculated as :
T8 diameter = T * 8 = 1 inch= 26 MM
T5 diameter = T * 5 = 5/8 inch= 16 MM
T is the code of diameter, T = 1/8 inch
Second: LED Tube Light Brightness
If you want high-bright LED tube lights, you can first choose T8 LED tubes. T8 tube light is much brighter than T5 tube light, which is less filled with electrons and inert gas. In contrast, if you want to create a darker lighting environment, T5 LED tubes are perfect.
Third: energy saving
LED as a light source, it is energy saving than traditional light bulbs, But compare t5 with t8,t5 led tube light is more high efficiency than t8 tube light.the volume of t5 tube light is smaller and t5 tube light requires less power during the same time.
Fouth: Prices of LED Tube Light
Because the length is different, the cost is different, and the price is different between the t5 led tube light and the t8 tube light. you should know your demands.
Fifth: LED Tube light Application
T8 LED tube is best suitable for commercial areas, like schools, factories, hospitals and parking lot ects. and T5 led tube are widely used for home decor, like living room, kitchen.
