T5 light fixtures available at Home Depot

[ChasWG]

So I was cruising the Depot earlier this week and was walking through the lighting department when I spyed these T5 fixtures for sale. My HD had everything from 4 foot T5 fixtures to 6" T5 fixtures. And they offered 4 lamp fixtures to single lamp fixtures. They didn't have any with super-cool reflector on them, but they where nice and a reflector could easily be added. I picked up a 24" fixture to try out in my smallish orchid enclosure. I want to see if I can bump up the light output. The lamp I got was a 2 bulb, 24" unit that cost me about $28. The lamps that it came with were the "cool white" bulbs. Meaning that they are in the 3000 to 3500 K temp range. Not what I would perfer, but still OK for $28.

I'll install them and see what I can get out of this new addition to my light setup.
