Ques. (Question of the Day) How often do you change T5 lamps

[Cpage101]

For those still running T5 lamps how often do you change them out?

 

[Chris.Reef]

Every year, I spin them 180 degrees at 6 months. Not sure if the spinning actually helps but it probably doesn’t hurt.

 

[dz6t]

Every 1.5 year.

 

[rock-n-reef]

Every year and half to two years. But have run that longer in the past before i knew T5 performance reduced over time.

What are T5's?

What are T5's?

According to the legend, it is a skinny tube-like substance that emits photons in different wavelengths. Especially useful to illuminate dark spaces.
Some strange kinds of homosapien who have strange fetish toward certain types of marine invertebrates use it to induce photosynthesis within these organisms.
