The T8 lamp has been around longer than the T5 lamp and is a bigger market, so there are more offerings. Now we are seeing T5 technology diversifying.

For example, Philips Lighting Company has introduced a 49W T5HO fluorescent lamp as an alternative to 54W T5HO lamps, ideal for hi-bay applications in retail big box and warehouse/industrial spaces.
