16mm-Diameter Linear Fluorescent  Lamps (also called T5)

  
Introduced in 1995, they are the newest generation of linear fluorescent lamps with a diameter of 16 mm only.

Performance:
These slimmer lamps are 7% more efficient than the 26 mm (T8) fluorescent lamps (efficacy of 89 lm/W for T8 lamps compare to 95 lm/W for T5 lamps).

In addition, T5 tubes can come with an optimised reflector that further improve the savings compared to a T8/reflector system.
 

Applications:
Each new lamp will require a new socket, ballast and fixture. They should therefore be reserved for new installations.
