    T5 vs CFL = how much diff in electricity?

    Yes, pretty typical, at least assuming individual reflectors. That's the key to T-5s really, they are smaller, so, you can fit more bulbs and the...

    T5 vs CFL = how much diff in electricity?

    T5 vs CFL = how much diff in electricity?

    The wattage is the same, the light output (as measured by PAR) should easily be 2-4x higher from the T5s and they will punch down deeper. They...
