FL is the normal long tube (length and hues varies too) lighting we always see at shops etc. PL is a U-Turn FL or some call them compact lights.
T5 is a slim FL.

jus fyi as easy identification and referance.

cheers!

Bro..i think this one need to google it. I did some research but i forgot the webby..

I once wondered why the diff T5 T8 lights, etc..

even the rating how it affects and all..

well, the different T means different diametters..yup..also, the tube which u buy will have many info like what type of tube it is, what diameter, what kind of starting mechanism, etc...

abit chim but once u know it'll show you the light (pun intended)
