What is a 735 lamp is it the same as T12 lamps?

A 735 lamp is a type of fluorescent tube that typically has a color temperature of around 3500 Kelvin, which produces a warm white light. It is often used in commercial and industrial settings. T12 lamps, on the other hand, refer to the diameter of the tube, which is 12/8 inches (1.5 inches). While a 735 lamp can be a T12 lamp if it has that diameter, not all T12 lamps are 735; T12 refers specifically to the size, not the color temperature.
