Diameter. For a long time, small electric lamps have been
sized by eighths of an inch diameter. The number of eighths
of an inch diameter is preceded by the letter T. T1=1/8th
inch diameter T1 3/4=1.75/8th inch diameter (~.219 inch).
T2=2/8th = 1/4 inch diameter, etc. The same diameter
standard was carried over for many LED lamps, though mm
diameters are also very common. 3mm is about a T1. 5mm is
about a T1 1/2.
