What are fluorescent light bulbs?

Fluorescent lamps have been a popular choice for energy-efficient lighting for many years. They provide bright and even light and are often used in both business and industrial settings. A fluorescent tube works based on fluorescent technology, where gas discharge and phosphor coating combine to provide light output. Within this range are also the robust T12 fluorescent lamps.

What does T12 mean in fluorescent tubes?

T12 stands for a tube diameter of 12/8 inch, which is approximately 38 millimeters. This is the largest standard size within the fluorescent family. In the past, T12 fluorescent tubes were widely used in public buildings, workshops and sheds because of their high light output and strong construction. Although more modern variants such as T8 and T5 are more efficient, T12 tubes are still widely used for replacement in existing fixtures.

Advantages of T12 fluorescent lamps

• Large light output for wide light distribution

• Strong, robust tube construction

• Ideal for older fixtures without modification

• Suitable for renovation and replacement of traditional installations

Where are T12 fluorescent tubes used?

T12 fluorescent tubes are mainly used in areas where a lot of light is needed and where existing fixtures are already installed. Think of:

• Sports halls and gymnasiums

• Warehouses and sheds

• Workshops and garages

• Public institutions such as schools and hospitals

Are there alternatives to T12 fluorescent lamps?

In many cases, T8 or LED fluorescent tubes are chosen for new installations because of their lower energy consumption and higher efficiency. Nevertheless, T12 fluorescent tubes remain relevant for existing systems where rewiring or replacing fixtures is undesirable. In addition, LED alternatives in T12 format are available today.
