When I switched to T5s a couple years ago, it was because of color. I had fantastic growth with the bulb I was using, but disliked the color a bunch. It was an EVC 10k with 4 110w Super actinic VHO for supplementation. It was still massively yellow!
So I went with a tek light, and cut my electricity in half. Now I'm working towards cutting out bulb replacements and lowering the electric bill a bit more. To those that say "If you can't afford bulb replacements, then get a new hobby" - I will say this: Go buy an H2 Hummer and commute six hours a day in it. :tongue:
I can afford the bulbs, but I can also afford to change to a lighting system that allows me to save some money, then I'm all for it. And you definitely can't beat the fact that I get to be a lemming as well.... :nerd:
