That's just what I have running and I'm not pulling bulbs to make it "even". I think it's more a cost thing to run as well. The T5's have more watts, but less amps.
If it was "even" in Watt's, I'm pretty darn sure the T5's would lose.
I'm not getting all scientific or anything, more for my amusement than anything.
