I have 2 set of Fluorescent lights for sale. each set holds 2 96inch bulbs. These were in the kitchen of my apartment and were removed because I redid the kitchen. These would be great lights for a garage. I would like to sell everything together (2 sets of lights and 6 bulbs)
Asking $75 best offer (the bulbs alone are $7 each). They basically look like this, but I have two of them (holds 4 bulbs total)
T8 has rapidly become the standard in typical lighting applications. The bulbs are much more energy efficient, produce better light output, have a much longer lifespan, do not need to be High Output and Cold Start aka $$ to work in the winter, and the ballasts are much cheaper to replace. T12 has always been a magnetic ballast system which has significant environmental impacts when they are thrown out, the mfg’s have been required to switch to electronic ballasts but they are still large and expensive for a good ballast.
T5 is the high end standard for highbay lighting and even some lowbay when properly spec’d on a project.
I can send you the nyserda information if you really want, it breaks down the differences between each technology, and how T8 and now T5 has really changed the scope of lighting in numerous applications.
Did they also tell you that the number after the “t” is the diameter of the bulb in 8’ths?
LOL
I know way too much about this shit. It is part of my job description though. I can’t imagine how my lighting engineer would have answered this. It may have been four pages!
