  • <h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: T8 Bulbs Are Practical

    Although T8 holds the higher number of the two, it actually only puts out around 15 to 32 watts of energy, depending on size. They tend to max out at around 59 watts. This is perfect for regular fluorescent lighting in rooms or fish tanks.

    On the Other: T5 Bulbs Pump Out Watts

    T5 bulbs can be found in lower watts, but more prominent are the higher 59- to 80-watt bulbs. These are great for lighting auditoriums, arenas and the likes. They are often used for special types of fish tanks that require more light than usual.

    Bottom Line

    T5 bulbs are better when it comes to a higher watt bulb and might be used for commercial purposes, but a T8 bulb may be more practical for households or classrooms.
