Why can the user not install T5 fluorescent tubes in existing T8 fittings?
A.7 : The T5 fluorescent tube is a different fluorescent tube. It is shorter in length than standard T8 tubes. The tube requires an electronic ballast with pre-heat function to start and to operate it. The adapT5 adapter is designed in such a way that it overcomes the problem of different length, different pin distance and the requirements of an electronic ballast.
