Yes, you can use a 32 watt T12 fluorescent lamp in a fixture that previously housed a 40 watt T12 fluorescent lamp. However, the light output will be slightly lower. It's advisable to check the fixture's compatibility with the lower wattage lamp to ensure proper performance.
The three types of hot-cathode fluorescent lamps are T12, T8, and T5. T12 lamps are the oldest and largest, T8 lamps are more energy-efficient and commonly used in commercial applications, and T5 lamps are the smallest and most efficient, often used in task lighting or compact installations.
It depends on the wattage of each T12 fluorescent tube. However, a typical T12 fluorescent tube is around 40 watts. So, if you have a total of 200 watts available, you could power five T12 fluorescent tubes.
T12 lamps (tubes) are still available until the end of 2010 when the manufacturers can only sell off any inventories left on hand. It is now illegal though to buy new fixtures with T12 lamps in them. Actually you can buy fixtures with T-12 bulbs. The fixtures now come with Electronic T12 Ballast. Only Magnetic ballast for 4' and 8' were affected by e-pact. Now some big box stores may only sell T8 fixtures but that has to do more with price point.
Fluorescent tubes are measured in 1/8ths of an inch. A T8 would be 8/8ths or one inch. Likewise a T12 would be 12/8ths or one and a half inches.

T12 lamp ordinarily known as fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube refers to a gas-discharge lamp that uses electricity to excite vapor. T12 lamp is available in different colors such as light blue, violet, green and red.

Depends on the ballast most of the newer electronic ones work on a wide range of lamps and input voltages and one or two lamps
no
Yes, it is possible to replace T12 fluorescent tubes with T8 tubes as long as the fixtures are compatible with the T8 tubes. T8 tubes are more energy efficient and have a longer lifespan than T12 tubes.
T12 fluorescent fixtures are energy-efficient, provide bright light, and have a long lifespan. Compared to other lighting fixtures, T12 fixtures are cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

The main difference between T12 and T8 fluorescent light bulbs is their size and energy efficiency. T12 bulbs are larger and less energy efficient compared to T8 bulbs, which are smaller and more energy efficient.
