jervismun Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Let's talk about lighting now Extracted from RSM website: Q: Why are the Max light tubes called T5 power compacts? A: Regular power compact lighting has a tube diameter of 6/8â€, which is known as T6. T5 tubes haves a smaller diameter (5/8â€) and produce a higher intensity output. The T5s used in the MAX are custom made power compacts that enable us to provide 55 watts of light in a smaller footprint than the equivalent (2 x 24 W) regular T5 tubes would provide. Regular power compact are often powered by magnetic ballasts, but the MAX T5 power compacts are powered by an electronic ballast to guarantee consistent high performance.
