A 32 watt T8 bulb typically produces around 2850 lumens.
A 32 watt T8 48 inch fluorescent bulb typically produces around 2800 lumens of light output.
By far the hottest of the two light sources is the light bulb.
Currently maximum LED luminous efficiency is about 114 lumens/W, measured at 50mA. Average luminous efficiency is about 104 lumens/W. Ordinary LED light effect is about 60 lumens / W. 18W is about 130 lumens is about 1080 lumens.
In a T* ballast and T8 bulb more energy efficient then a T12 ballast and a T8 bulb? A:Depends on the CURRENT through the tube. When the Tube is run at 100% of rating, The T12 Takes more CURRENT to give a certain Brightness. Because the surface of the T8 is closer to the ion stream through the tube, it takes less CURRENT to light up the T8 to the same brightness. However, IF you use a T12 in a T8 ballast, you will get LESS CURRENT through the tube, and LESS POWER consumed ALONG with LESS Light.
2300lm Comment I think you mean lumens, not lumen's. No that answer is wrong Watts (energy usage) / Lumens (light output) 25 is equal to 200 35 is equal to 325 40 is equal to 450 60 is equal to 800 75 is equal to 1100 100 is equal to 1600 125 is equal to 2000 150 is equal to 2600 36 watts would be about 350 Lumens
Yes, a T8 bulb can fit in a fixture designed for T12 bulbs as long as the wattage and length of the T8 bulb are compatible with the fixture.
The main difference between a T8 and T12 bulb is their size and energy efficiency. T8 bulbs are smaller in diameter and more energy efficient than T12 bulbs. T8 bulbs also produce more light output for the same amount of energy compared to T12 bulbs.
A T8 light bulb is a type of fluorescent tube that is 1 inch in diameter. It differs from other types of light bulbs, such as T12 or T5, in terms of size and energy efficiency. T8 bulbs are more energy efficient and have a longer lifespan compared to T12 bulbs, making them a popular choice for commercial and residential lighting.
This question is ill posed. Lumen is a unit of measure for how much light comes from the lamp Watt is a unit of measure for how much energy is used by the lamp If the question were; "Which is brighter, a 2000 lumen bulb or a 1500 lumen bulb?" then the answer would be: The 2000 lumen bulb. I think the relation ship between lumen and watt is something like: Incandecent bulbs are 15w/lumen Flourecent bulbs use 40w/lumen LED bulbs are 70w/lumen The way to show the watt and lumen relationship is usually lumens (amount of light) per watt (energy consumption). This is like gas in your car (Miles or KM per Gallon or Liter). Incandescent bulbs have a maximum luminosity of 52 lumens/watt. Fluorescent bulbs range from 46 lumens/watt (CFL) to 100 lumens/watt (T5 and T8 tubes) LED bulbs range from 29 lumens/watt (older, low efficiency) to 100+ (XCree) and they are getting better.
Depends on how high it is off the floor. Make sure you buy a T8 and not a T12. The T8 puts out more light and will operate at a lower temperture. On a normal 8' ceiling a 2 bulb T8 will cover around 36 square feet of space. If the room is pretty large then an 8 foot 2 bulb HO light is a much better choice.
T8 light bulbs are more energy-efficient, longer-lasting, and provide better quality lighting compared to other types of lighting options.
