lights

Does anyone know anything about flourescent lighting? I just bought some 3 foot fixtures for my workshop.

the fixtures are calling for FO25T8 bulbs. All ive ever heard of before are the F25T8 bulbs.

whats the difference, and would F25T8 work? thats what my local store has.

Google is not my friend. I didnt get any good results about this question.

They look the same to me. The important thing is both are T8 type, 36 inches, and 25 watts. There does appear to be four different light temperature/color types 3000K to 5000K, so if you are matching with older ones be sure to get the right color brightness.

looks to be just what Sylvania/Osram calls theirs
