If anyone is interested in building a kick-ass T5 set-up;

google Ice Cap ballast.

Ice Cap has end caps for T5, T8, T12 and two sizes of flouro ballasts that can drive any of them to VHO levels.......

and if you think a T5 HO is bright you should see one at VHO levels.

You can also use the ballasts to drive TT-105 bulbs.

Building T5 fixtures Many years ago I saw on OG someone that did a HUUUUUUUGE grow with all T5s and he had sites listed where he got the parts to build his own huge fixtures with tons of bulbs. He bought the end peices and ballasts and everything and mounted them on boards and wired them himself. Anyone know where I could get these online? Rating: 5
