T5 at home depot cool and warm!!!!
well i went to homedepot to day looking for some good tubes because i broke one of mine on accident anyways i seen theses T5 tubes they were real skinny and like 2 feet long and 1000 lumens each 13 watts but i had to get smaller tumb stones for the tubes
do they sell bigger tubes with more lumens? 2 ft long just fatter?
the ones i got were 2 tubes for 10 bucks
they had the warm white ones they were like 7 bucks each but something ill be adding to my hps light when time comes!!!!

2 foot T-5's are 24watts, 2500 lumens, or at least the ones I use to root clones under are. T-5's will not work in standard flouro fixtures either.
WTF is "tumb stones" ?

I think he means 'tombstones' and is probably referring to the light mounts - the tombstone shaped thigies you twist the bulb end into. :wtf:

Right. The T5 lights used for growing are HO (high output) and bOnger is correct on the wattage/lumens (for the HO bulbs). The bulbs that HD sells are not HO (at least not that I've seen). Also, if I recall correctly, unlike both T12 and T8 bulbs, T5 bulbs are measured in metric lengths. So the 2 foot bulb at home depot is probably more like 21".
T5 bulbs cannot be retrofitted into a T12 fixture, and I don't believe they can be retrofitted into a T8 fixture either, though I'm not sure on that.

Who does ? Post a link ? I paid ~15 bucks each, per 2' bulb (T5's) about 3 months ago for replacements cause I broke mine being a dumbass.
Oh, ok.......PC, I am with the program now.......LOL:D
Yeah, Grow. A 4' T-5 fixture is only 47 inches overall length. So, a 4' T5 would not be 4 feet long, technically. Guess thats why you cannot match up with standard fixture. I think I also read T5's use a different ballast or something, too. No need for me to know how it works, just that it works.....LOL:thumbsup:
