Perhaps I don't know how to search the web properly, but I couldn't find any. If anyone knows where I can get some T5's close to 2500, or even 2700K, please, please share.

You got me curious so I whipped out the laser thermometer. The T12's are consistently 105 degrees, and the T5's are consistently 135 degrees. That's 29% warmer.
