about the light from HTG... I just ordered HTG's brand of T5, its 2' with two bulbs, and its 10k lumens total, which I believe is 2k more than the sylverstar, and its cheaper.

HTG Supply Two Lamp Two Foot High Output Compact T5 Fluorescent Grow Light System. Comes complete with two Compact T5 High Output (PLL-55W) GROW SPECTRUM Fluorescent Bulbs. This system emits an incredible 10,000 lumens! Perfect for Orchids, Small Gardens, Cloning/Cuttings, Mother Plants or Supplemental lighting.
