Comment on my CFL Flowers

t5s get better penetration than cfls?

i think so..i think a cfl is called a t2 or something, but nothing like an hid. fluors have better quality light, though. unless you find an hid with a 80+ c.r.i.

well t2s would be better then t5s wouldnt they? t5s are better than t8s

i dont think so..i think t8s are bigger than t5s.

haha no t 12 and t 8 then came out with. t 5
the bulbs 12's are biggest diameter bulb with less light/watt. the 5's are smallest with most amount of light/watt.
the lower number means you can run a smaller watt bulb to get same light as higher watt t 12.
size is a big factor t 12 are 1.5 inches in diameter where t 5 are 0.5 inches so you can fit more lights in a smaller space.
also most t5 do not have the annoying hum of a t12.
if i am wrong feel free to chime in.

t5 puts out more lumens than the bigger t8?

*facepalm*

T5 are straightened out cfls.

Oh and Vincent Von Blown? who asked you?

Fricken wall of text outta nowhere.

i mean, t5s do put out on average 24 watts like cfls, but they put out more lumens at 2000.

i dont think cfls are considered t5s.

looks like a 32 watt t8 will only put out 1800 lumens.

so t8 are bigger, but less efficient like hiitsbob said.

Simply unbelievable bmeat. Your very special indeed.....fluorescent bulbs output is directly related by volume of gas and the watts used to excite it...pretty simple.

T-5s average 54 watts at 5000 lumens
T-8 average 34 watts at 2850 lumens.
Notice the T-5s are smaller in diameter than a T-8, hence a smaller volume of gas excited by a higher wattage. See if you can wrap your mind around that and undrstand it.

so why arent the bigger t8s brighter?

Bigger=a larger volume of gas excited by a lower wattage. I didnt figure you would be able to wrap your mind around it since its not that easy of a subject to google.

T5 is just more efficient. That's all I need to know. lol
