T5 lights are good!

[Norton]

I have had my new T5 lights for a few days now. I could not be happier with them. What a huge improvement over shop lights! I am measuring 3000 footcandles a few inches under the bulbs down to 500 at the bottom of my grow space. The fixture I am using is a 4 bulb 4 foot setup by Hydrofarm. Temperature has been around 80-82 with the lights on. Warmer yes, but not too bad. If anyone reading this is considering upgrading to T5 I say go for it. You will be amazed at the difference. Special thanks to Ross for his advice on T5 lighting. His wisdom helped me decide to get on the bandwagon.
