    Running an energy-saving T8 tube with a ballast for T12 will reduce lamp life and can increase energy consumption. [9] Conversely, a T12 tube on a T8 ballast will usually draw too much power and so may burn out the ballast, unless it is within the range that particular ballast can compensate for.

  3. T5 retrofit conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T5_retrofit_conversion

    T5 retrofit conversion can maintain existing lighting levels with the higher efficiency of the T5 lamp. However, with kits that operates the lamp on the existing magnetic ballast, the efficiency drops and the lamp life is considerably shortened, as T5 lamps aren't designed to be operated on mains frequency but only on high frequency.

    Fluorescent light fixtures cannot be connected to dimmer switches intended for incandescent lamps. Two effects are responsible for this: the waveform of the voltage emitted by a standard phase-control dimmer interacts badly with many ballasts, and it becomes difficult to sustain an arc in the fluorescent tube at low power levels.

  5. LED tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_tube

    LED tube is a type of LED lamp used in fluorescent tube luminaires with G5 and G13 bases to replace traditional fluorescent tubes. [1] As compared to fluorescent tubes, the most important advantages of LED tubes are energy efficiency and long service life. LED tubes are sometimes also referred to as ‘LED fluorescent tubes’.

  6. Cove lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cove_lighting

    Traditionally, cove lighting was installed by using T5 fluorescent tubes. T5 luminaires are an energy-efficient alternative to larger luminaires (such as T8 lamps) because they save on materials. [2] Lighting specialists recommend installing cove lighting at least 18 inches (46 cm) from the ceiling and 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) from the floor.

    Twist-lock 120/230-volt MR16 halogen lighting of 35/50 watt, differs from GU10 by use of a dichroic reflector. GZ10 fixtures can use GU10 bulbs, but not vice versa. G12: 7004-63-2: 12.0 mm: 2.35 mm Used in theatre and single-end metal halide lamps. G13: 7004-51-10: 0.50 in (12.7 mm) 0.093 in (2.35 mm) Common T8, T10 and T12 fluorescent tubes. GX16d
