T5 is a type of bulb.

Some of the acronyms you see such as JF, ORA, TSA, BC, etc are the companies that first brought that particular strain to market.

T5 is lighting. T stands for tubular and the number 5 x 1/8" is diameter of bulb

Looks like that is just something that the seller uses to identify specific corals in their system. To the buyer those letters and numbers would be irrelevant.
