t8s are a newer design...part of it is the fact that they are smaller, but I
think they are designed better than the original t12s...there is a reason
that most offices are going towards t8s...more efficient, less energy
used...and they tend to degrade less over time...

There is even a new design on the market, count on it to be the next
standard. T5, they are thinner than T8 (as the number refers to their
physical size) and also gives more light.

As to now it's mostly used where realy good light is needed as in
workplaces. (drawing boards etc.) After what I'we heard they should be
able to compee with mercury-bulbs for reef-tank use.

SEE YA !!!
