Replacing T5 tubes.

[Pedro Pereira]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me in how much time should I replace my T5 tubes ? (6 / 8
months like T8 ) ?


Thank you

you can keep T5 tubes until the end, there is not need to replace
them like it should be done with the old tube technique

Really? That would imply that T5 tubes keep their full brightness
(or nearly so) for their entire life until they fail. Is that really true?
I know that other tubes, such as T8 and T12, do lose brightness
as they age.

As cheap as they are, and the result of NOT replacing would be worse than
actually doing so, I'd replace them just as if they were T8s or T12s...
