    Hdd - I am already looking at other brands for mh. I don't need a new mh bulb for now anyways. If the t5 bulbs aren't good, then i don't want them.


    Ben - well that makes that a no then. I'll look for something else.

    Surely, it won't be a $700 lamp.

    I am looking for HOT5 actnic lighting to supplement my metal halides. The halide will be a 150w but I will upgrade to a 250w when I have money. The t5's must be able to fit in the canopy with the metal halide lamp. The lamp being between the T5's.

    Sorry I reread my post & it was a bit confusing. Ben says the lamp I posted a link to is not a HOT5, but just T5. I did not see it mention being HO on the link eother.
