In 1996, the T5 lamp family was completed with the types of higher lumens 
than volume FQ
®
…HO (High Output)-fluorescent lamps. They are available 
in the wattage of 24, 39, 49, 54 and 80 W with the identical lengths as the 
FH…HE types. With up to 7000 lm for FQ 80 W HO this is the lamp family 
with the highest light output. 
In 1999, the third member of the T5/∅ 16 mm-lamp family was introduced 
to the market. Away from usual light strips, compact, efficient and 
unconventional luminaires benefit from this new, circular FC
®
-lamp: 50 % 
more light output than with comparable standard circular lamps. 
Special Note: 
Independent of the lamp diameter of the fluorescent lamp the luminous flux 
is specified for an ambient temperature of 25 °C. These values are 
exclusive to be used for light plannings. The value of the luminous flux is 
for the T5/∅ 16 mm fluorescent lamps FH
®
...HE and FQ
®
...HO for 25 °C 
below the values for 35 °C. The values at 35 °C ambient temperature are 
only for information. The Circular lamps FC
®
 only have value of luminous 
flux at 25 °C. The advantages of the T5/∅ 16 mm fluorescent lamps show 
their advantages in the improved efficiency of the fixture.

1.2 T5/∅ 16 mm-
Fluorescent Lamps 
The diameter and also the description of the new fluorescent lamp family is 
based on American measures: (1 inch = 25.4 mm) 
The value is combined with a T (tube). 
5/8 of an inch = 16 mm Î T5-fluorescent lamp 
Classification: 
T2  tube diameter of 7 mm 
T5  tube diameter of 16 mm 
T8  tube diameter of 26 mm 
T12  tube diameter of 38 mm 
T17  tube diameter of 51 mm (1936)
