What is a T5 lamp and why do so many people choose it?

A T5 fluorescent lamp is a slim fluorescent tube 16 mm thick. Thanks to its compact size, it fits easily into modern fixtures. T5 tubes are more economical than T8 and offer equivalent brightness. Whether you want to light an office, garage or home office: T5 is efficient and durable.

What spaces are T5 fluorescent lights suitable for?

T5 lighting is ideal for:

• Offices and conference rooms
• Schools and classrooms
• Warehouses and workshops
• Supermarkets and stores
• Parking garages and public buildings
• Home offices and hobby rooms

These tubes provide constant, bright light - making them perfect for long-term use.

What fitting do you need?

Most T5 bulbs have a G5 fitting - identified by two pins close together. Some models use a G13 fitting, especially in retrofit applications or older fixtures.

Tip: Always look at your current tube or consult your fixture's specifications. In doubt? Feel free to contact us - we'll think with you.
