T5 Fluorescent Lighting
A new more efficient kind of fluorescent tube has been developed. The new tubes are called T5's whereas the old are T8's.
All new facilities should specify T5 as they use up to 40% less energy than the equivalent T8 and give off 10-15% more light! This is achieved by a better performing tri-phosphor coating.
