Ultra-thin fluorescent light tubes are usually selected as a light source, in theory, the finer the higher the efficiency of the lamp, that is to say the same wattage, the more luminous. Now it is commonly used T8, T5, T4 lamp, commonly used in the past two years have T10, T12, "T" on behalf of the "Tube", said fluorescent tube, said the figures behind the lamp diameter (1 / 8 inch in multiples) , The relationship is as follows:
T12
|
Diameter: 38.1 mm
|
T10
|
Diameter: 31.8 mm
|
T8
|
Diameter: 25.4 mm
|
T5
|
Diameter: 16 mm
|
T4
|
Diameter: 12.7 mm
|
T3.5
|
Diameter: 11.1 mm
|
T2
|
Diameter: 6.4 mm

Actual use, the small tubes easily concealed, the use of flexible occasions, which is why T5, T4-ray tube to be more widely used.
Because the thinner tubes are easy to be hidden, the T5 and T4 are used widely. But why Nanolight company recommends T5 in stead of T4? The reasons are as followed
1 、Different Diameter: the diameter of T5 is 16mm, and T4 is 12.7mm, because the light intensity of T5 is much higher than T4, T5 is more suitable for large size light boxes.
2 、Different Quality: the quality of ballast for T5 is much better than that for T4, so the brightness of T4 is much higher than
3 、Different life span and stability: the technology and manufacturing process of T5 are more mature than those of T4. Moreover, considering the cost, technical maturity, life span, quality and other factors, the T5 is the best choice.
