    I can see some advantages to this if your looking to increase your options on supplement lighting

    with T5s - you do have the benefits of more efficient use of light and better options on lamps in terms of color temperature , additionally T5 lamps are good for 12 months I believe whereas PC lamps are known to lose color temp and intensity at 9 months
