For anyone who my be interested....

The 'life-glo' T5 bulbs are triphospher full spectrum bulbs and my be the best overall bulbs made for growing.
T5's have a very poor selection of bulbs, only 3000K or 6000K not much else.

BTW: You can almost double the lumen output by turning your T5 HO into VHO with the substitution of an Ice ballast. (2' 24watt becomes 40watt.)

I'm waiting for a 2' T5 HO reptile bulb, if I could get a few of those I'd do a comparo.
oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . to T5 or not to T5 I bought the 24w life-glo and the 24w power-glo for the dual bulb 22" T5 set. Is this enough of the correct light to grow 1-3 plants Rating: 5
