geek, while you are true that most softies can handle more light than even SPS your statement in regards to depth penetration of light is somewhat...
You bet! Good luck with it and post some pics!
Powerman, if you want primary T5 light with the point source(shimmer) of halide, then do a Retro with LEDs for shimmer... In my eyes if you want the...
If you were to do a 6x80w ATI fixture you will be happy, no doubt. Have I seen one in use in person? No. But I have heard from enough people that...
