I'm starting to think about replacing the T12 fixtures in my unheated garage. In the winter, only one or two light up. One or two barely glow, and the rest do nothing (except maybe cost me money!).
It occasionally gets below 0 (F) here but single digits are common enough at night. Mostly low teens though.
So what is better, T8 or T5? Why would I choose one over the other. I'm assuming they both start at low temps.
