Fluorescent Lamp Sizes - T2 Through T17

A fluorescent tube size-comparison pic showing T2 through T17...

Starting on the left:
T17 (17/8's inch thickness, Mogul BiPin) GE F40T17/CW
T12 (12/8's inch thickness, Medium BiPin) Industrial F40T12/G
T10 (10/8's inch thickness, Medium BiPin) Panasonic F40EX-50(T10)
T9 (9/8's inch thickness, Medium BiPin) Lampi F20T9WW
T8 (8/8's inch thickness, Medium BiPin) Philips F32T8/Plant&Aquarium
T6 (6/8's inch thickness, Medium BiPin) (no etch)
T5 (5/8's inch thickness, Mini BiPin) ZooMed F54T5/10,000K
T4 (4/8's inch thickness, Mini BiPin) ?? F28T4-D
T2 (2/8's inch thickness, ??) American Lighting T2-24W 3000K

That T17 really is the beast in this group, especially compared to that thin little T2

That is a fantastic comparison shot! You could probably sell that photo to companies as i've never seen a linear fluorescent size comparison in such detail. This is now the 3rd picture comparing a T12 and a T17 that I have seen in my entire life but to have the full lot! I didn't even know there was a T6 until I saw this.Absolutely fantastic picture thank you so much for taking it! Very Happy

@lasagafield Glad you liked the pic! The T6 I think is really uncommon as a bi-pin, most are a single-pin/slimline design (which makes me think one of these days I should do a comparison pic on single-pin too)

@FrontSideBus:
Yep it is Laughing

I guess the only thing I'm missing is a T1 !

@Funkybulb:
Yep..the T17 really is a beast!
Even the glass seems thicker than the other 'normal' sizes. Got a bit of weight to it too.

Excellent comparison pic! I've never seen a linear T6 or T9 tube. The only time I have seen T6 is the older and higher wattage 2D lamps.

Have to admit, I also had no idea T9 and T6 tubes existed.... You learn something new every day!
