T-5 Fluorescent Aquarium Lights T5 fluorescent bulbs are 5/8" diameter high output fluorescent tubes rather than the standard 1-1/2" diameter flurorescent tubes of the past. This slim profile makes the T5 Fluorescent system more efficient than fixtures that use standard fluorescent tubes. T5 fluorescent bulbs also put out more light than standard fluorescent lamps or power compacts. These lamps are the future of fluorescent technology. Whether you use them as supplementation with metal halide or stand alone they are sure to impress. What are the benefits of T5 lighting? A critical parameter of good coral growth and survival, especially hard corals, is light. With the advent of T5's (which describes the small dianmeter of the tube -5/8"- and does not indicate the lumen output), and correct phosphor blends, it is possible to produce a fluorescent tube which can emit 10% more light than the equivalent wattage from a metal halide bulb. This is achieved with a 40% reduction in running cost and without the radiant heat problems associated with metal halide lighting. T5 lamps are unmatched in their output and intensity due their reflective possibilities. Their small diameter (compared to other fluorescent lamps) allows manufactures to create parabolic reflectors that are extremely efficient. The tubes are significantly less expensive than metal halide bulbs with increased longevity - up to 15,000 hours.
