Fluorescent Light Bulbs
| 1. Determine the size of bulb you need (T5 / T8 / T12) | ||
|---|---|---|
|
You can quickly measure any fluorescent tube by comparing it's width to a standard Canadian loonie (which is 26.5mm - or just over 1 inch in size)
A "T12" should be wider than the loonie - a "T8" is about the same width as a loonie - and the new "T5" mini's are about half the width. |
||
| 2. Select the overall "length" of the bulb you are looking for | ||
|---|---|---|
|
T12 (1-1/2" diameter)
|
T8 (1" diameter)
|
T5 (5/8" diameter)
|
| (Measurement of the tube - should include the pins - on both ends) | ||
