I've done it with T5s overhead and additional cfls on the side. The T5s are more intense than cfls but they still need to be close in to the foliage. And they are harder to position. They probably work better for a sog or canopy grow than with larger plants. But if heat is a problem, they can do the job.

would there be a big difference if i put 5 of the 4ft 8 bulbs, 2 on top and one on each of the four walls?
