Kung Fu Fighting!
So, I've pretty much finalized my situation with my carnivorous plants [well, the grow rack and all that I will be setting up soon].
Except for the lighting.
I was pretty much set on going with 4x T8 lights, since I thought T5's were extremely expensive.
Until I saw this on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/4X-54-Watt-T5-H...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a444064b
With shipping, it'd only be $10-$15 more expensive than the T8's. The benefits of T5 vs T8 greatly outweigh $15.
Are these genuinely good bulbs or am I being tricked? There are a few others like them. How much would the fixture cost? A ton? I can't find a T5 fixture on eBay, if anyone could help me [link me] to one that'd be great. Would a regular shop fixture work, or is there specialized kinds? Would they be at Home Depot or Lowe's?
I may change my plans just yet.
Any help on this is appreciated, now I'm wondering if T5's are really worth getting, since the difference in price isn't as enormous as I once thought.
