Hey Razza,
Find out what type tubes your using and how many lumens they produce. Foot candles add up to lumens. Normally the amount of light is suggested lumen output.
GaGrown Reviewed by GaGrown on . t5 Questions... Just got a T5 and I have a few new girls. They are about a foot tall, just topped... the T5 should be right on these ladies correct? The meter have has a 500 and 5000 setting, and I'm getting 35 (10X) so 350 light candles out of 500. Is this enough light for these babies? I'm also getting forty more babies tomorrow, small ones. The T5 I have has four lights in it... is this enough to cover all the babies? What type of light candel intensity am I looking for? I figured I would leave Rating: 5
