    I honestly would avoid the no name brands... Too much issues in the past.... also lighting is too important of a component to skimp on!!

    What's wrong with the PCs in there now. I'm really asking because I don't know much about T5s. Where do PCs rate in the scheme of things?

    I agree, no-name brands are probably more risk than they're worth IMO. Saving a few dollars now only to find out they have poor reflectors or poor quality ballasts that burn out every 6 months or something like that and it will end up costing you more when you find out you have to upgrade within a year. :)
