alanmin4304 Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 What is the advantage of those lights over a standard double flourescent fitting where the tubes cost about $5.00 each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishandchips Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 When it comes to T5 bulbs it is cheaper to source them from a hardware store then from a petshops. Jump on the OSRAM website and find the bulbs that you want then ask them to order them in for you. That is how i am getting my T5's. It is not that i don't weant to suport the lfs but been a student i can't afford the prices of the branded bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishandchips Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Depending on that wattage you want the price will change. When i find out the price of the 24watt ones i want i will let you know. Yeah the T5 (16m) is what you want. Go for the HO (HIgh output ones). Then you just have to choose what kelvin rating you want. Been a student is another reason i got just the ballast as well instead of paying the high price for the whole kit. but if you don't have a hood then go for the whole kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
