Anyone use 36" t5?

Hey there gang! I may have an opportunity to upgrade my setup soon, but due to space restrictions I will probably end up growing on a set of *shelves* that measure 36" wide by 16" deep. I'm also limited in my electric usage and cooling capacity so I'm thinking T5 is the way to go.

was thinking *this*... 1 to start with + LED I already have and trying to eventually go to perpetual harvest or a different crop on each shelf

1.) anyone out there using a 36" t5 (4 or 6 bulb)? are you happy it? Yield examples?

2.) most of the 36" t5s I've found seem to be for aquarium usage, anyone have a good source on 36" bulbs more suited to plants? Would I have a hard time finding 36" bulbs?

3.) should i just use several 24" t5 fixtures? I'm pretty much stuck with this 36" space, just tryin to get the most out of it.

Thanks!:leaf:

Would this work using those $1.50 outlet plugs -> socket adapters with two 9 x 2 surge protectors?

All of the shapes are proportional to what they represent

You could also do one surge protector on each side of the T5's to even it out.
