LED T12 bulbs are energy-efficient lighting options that are designed to replace traditional T12 fluorescent tubes. A T12 tube is approximately 40mm in diameter. They are designed to fit into the same fixtures that were traditionally used for T12 fluorescent tubes, making them a convenient upgrade option for improved energy savings and lighting quality. These bulbs have high efficacy alongside longer lifespans than fluorescents.
With a diameter of 25mm (8/8 of an inch), the T8 bulb are typically used for lighting large areas in manufacturing and hospitality settings and with their high lumen output options, the bulbs are of greater use for commercial settings like grocery stores, schools, and restaurants.< /p>
CyberTech Lighting LED T8 and T12 bulbs have different diameters, so they aren’t directly interchangeable. However, you can retrofit LED T12 fixtures with LED T8 bulbs using appropriate adapters or modifications. It’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure the LEDs’ optimization. Adapters are available on the market to make LED T8 bulbs fit into T12 sockets. These adapters address the size difference and provide the correct wiring configuration.
Whether T8 and T12 tubes are interchangeable also depends on their operation type. LED T8 tubes and T12 tubes have different installation requirements depending on the model. Some lights are plug-and-play, also known as ballast compatible, and require ballast for operation. Direct wire tubes can connect directly to voltage lines and do not operate with a ballast. Hybrid bulbs can operate with or without a ballast to illuminate spaces.
Finally, External Driver, or Type-C, bulbs are powered by an external driver without the assistance of a ballast. Make sure to be aware of ballast compatibility, consider adapters, focus on energy efficiency, and light quality, and involve professionals when needed to ensure a safe and effective transition.CyberTech Lighting LED T8 and T12 bulbs have different diameters, so they aren’t directly interchangeable.

LED T8 bulbs’ diameter are measured at around 1 inch, whereas T12 bulbs have a diameter of around 1.5 inches.
The difference between CyberTech lighting’s LED T8 and LED T12 bulbs mostly lies in their size and efficiency. 1 inch diameter and replace T8 fluorescents with electronic ballasts. They are energy-efficient and eco- friendly. Whereas, T12 LED bulbs have a 1.5-inch diameter, replacing T12 fluorescent with rewiring, and are also energy-efficient but less common than their counterparts.
Currently, our selection of CyberTech Lighting’s LED T12 and LED T8 bulbs include a large selection of long-lasting items. T8 bulbs are excellent for use with motion and occupancy sensors to offer around 50,000 life hours. T12 bulbs can operate in various solutions and have a life span of 50,000 life hours.
