Florescent lights

Whats the difference between the T5, T8, and T12 other than the diameters? If the pins on the ends of the tube match up with the sockets/tombstones, are tubes of the same length interchangeable? I got 120, T12 tubes when I replaced them with LED tubes. I have a large heated shop that can use some if they will replace the smaller diameters.
 
I bought the 6000's from Amazon, they came with new tombstones. Easy conversion, man what a
difference in light and cold weather start. I've only done 4 footers.
 
The T8 and T12 pins are the same, the T5 are closer together.

The T5's are not interchangeable with anything that I know of.

The T8's will replace T12's, but T12's won't work with a T8 ballast.

BTW, the T number designates the diameter of the tube in eighths of an inch.
 
Spend that money on LED fixtures and you will thank yourself over and over and over. I did my shop last summer.....was time to replace my old fixtures anyway.. Yesterday I walked into the shop hit the light switch and walaaaaa nice brite light everywhere; no dimly lit, flickering, failing to come on, might come on neons.....no more for me. I buy the multi-packs on ebay. Great value.
