The t5s came as a set up for plants, with a reflector and full spectrum,( I think 6500) so I would say they were the high output variety.

Hate to pop your bubble but my Little Stars bloomed under T8s for years, it doesn't require high light and isn't a good example of what Cattleya blooms under T5s.
