@@rafaf777 in the US, f36t8s are very rare to come across, some of them are technically labeled medium output "MO". But like I said here the F32T8 is more common like F17T8, and for very low power factor you have F25t12 or F34T12
they’re also visible in person, these tubes take a bit to warm up especially when in a cold environment. they eventually become stable when fully warmed up
What is the length of the 16w?
60cm, it’s an energy saving retrofit for 18W tubes
@@rafaf777 oh, here in America they are 17w (also f36t8 is f32t8 here)
interesting, i thought you didn’t have F36T8s, where do you use them?

Are these stipes or waves in the tubes visible or are they just there because of the camera?

@@rafaf777 ok, I have seen this only in bad tubes before. Maybe these Philips tubes are low quality.
these are energy saving tubes which have a special gas filling and they’re very sensitive to low temperatures
