T-5 outperform 400 watts MH? You be the judge.

I find this very hard to believe and my jaw dropped to the core inside this planet!
Very exciting news isn't it?
We need lumen information on 10000K and blue to compare. This information is 6500K and less.
Your comment?

I am the proud owner of T5 lighting system here in the UK and I can simply say they are outstanding. Very practical and a little cheaper too!

My only comment is that Lumens are the single most useless piece of information on reef lighting to compare bulbs with.
We need to stick with PAR when comparing aquarium lighting.

First off I agree with Bang Guy, Second I am one of the few Yanks who have T5 lighting that I know. It was over my 29g Reef tank. I liked it, but would have prefered MH. Just my .02. The best thing about T5 IMO really easy for the do it yourselfer, and cheap.

That's interesting to me ~ I may want to use that information when lighting my garage
