s3xtcy Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hello everyone, could someone please take a photo of the end of their t5 and their fittings? i presume they are not the same fittings as the t8's and as thats all my ufo880 can take i think i will "edit" it so as it can take t5's Basically I have found that they come in 22", 34" and 46" tubes, and I have made a plan on my light hood for the outlay of them, i just need to know more regarding fittings, and how many I can run off the two switches (and three starters) that are currently in my light hood, any information would be greatly appreciated as google does not want to seem to show me the ends, only the length and the package Also if anyone has done this before then any tips would be greatly appreciated! thanks! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 You can't run T5 tubes off T8 gear, you need to replace every thing, it's not just a matter of changing the end it fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-obstacle Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 There are t8 to t5 adapters on trademe that do all the hard work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 A powerglo will be a HO tube. Don't bother doing it without the appropriate ballast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 A powerglo will be a HO tube. Don't bother doing it without the appropriate ballast. so p44 means those adaptors above wont work for you as they are t5 not t5HO or t5VHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
