Both these types of lighting are absolutely pervasive in work places, public buildings and to a lesser extent in quite a number of homes.
T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes are easily replaced by
retrofit LED T5 & T8 equivalent tubes. Incidentally, the name denotes the tube diameter size and as is common with lighting specification is based on eights of an inch, so a T8 tube is 8/8 (or 1 inch) and a T5 is 5/8 of an inch in diameter. The principal difference though is light quality; T5 tubes are noticeably brighter and being ...

Kitchen lighting tends to be left on a lot and you will obviously get the best savings from those lights you normally use the most. The great thing about installing LED kitchen lighting using
retrofit replacements for halogen lamps (MR16, GU10 and ES formats are all available) is that you get low power consumption and low heat output, so no more issues with being fire-rated. There are now hi power GU10 LED energy saving bulbs equal in power to GU10 50w halogen output but running at 9 watts that deliver ...
