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.
As of October 2023, T12 lamps are largely phased out in the United States due to energy efficiency regulations, but some may still be available for sale in limited quantities. Certain exemptions apply, such as for specific applications or specialty lamps. However, many manufacturers have shifted to producing more energy-efficient alternatives like T8 and T5 lamps. Always check local regulations and retailer policies for the most current information.
