Neofinetia falcata (Project 6b - Spring 2008)

That makes sense. . .don't the T-5 lights have a broader spectrum? And a more intense light?

I am currently using gro bulbs in my Exo Tank. . .wimpy wimpy wimpy.

But just so you know. . .I bought two T-5 lights yesterday and can't wait to test it with my light meter.

Don't know about "broader spectrum". I use a blend of 6500K lights and 3000" lights to try and achieve a balance near 5000K. This isn't for the plants, it's for my photos. t5 are the highest intensity of all the florescent series. The Metal Halide and HPS bulbs are way higher, but also hotter - not a good thing in our case.
