Sorry Mike. I just though she didnt like it.

Bug the T5s are so durn expensive. I can get a 250w DE with IC ballast and 20kk bulb in a ROIII for about $250 or so and the T5 with SLR reflectors and spec T5 ballast will run me about $320. but the bulb life about 14 months is a good deal. We will see it is a day to day process T5 one day MH the next. lol

Very true, I will take VHO over any other fluorescent lights. I havent tried the t5s yet but I have heard mixed reviews. From what I have seen though, VHO actinic is pretty tough to beat. I wasnt too impressed with a friends t5 VHO.

You guys just havent seen the right bulbs, I like my t-5 actinics, they are close to VHO, just not quite there yet.

But guess what???

URI which is the company that makes the best VHO actinics hands down will be coming out with a T-5 version very soon, and word is that they will be just as good if not better the VHO.
