What Are Fluorescent Light Tubes and How Do They Work?
Fluorescent light tubes are an affordable and energy-efficient lighting solution ideal for homes, offices, and commercial environments. They operate by passing an electric current through mercury vapour, creating ultraviolet light that reacts with a phosphor coating inside the tube to produce bright, even light. At Lightshopdirect, we stock an extensive range of T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes from trusted brands, helping you find the perfect replacement or upgrade for your lighting setup.
How Do I Choose the Right Fluorescent Tube for My Space?
Selecting the correct fluorescent tube depends on size, wattage, and application. T8 fluorescent tubes (25mm diameter) are best suited for larger areas such as warehouses and offices where higher light output is needed. T5 fluorescent tubes, with their slim profile and high energy efficiency, are ideal for compact spaces or modern fittings. Whether you need cool white, daylight, or warm white options, Lightshopdirect offers fluorescent tubes for every environment.
