Whats the difference? I have been looking at CFL plug-in pin style lamps, but just found that fluorescent tubes create more lumens for the wattage. Are the tubes worse for some reason because they arent "compact" fluorescents?
t5's and t8's over t12's anyday!!!!
I was lookin at some of these I think (the link doesnt work for me), but didnt want to buy a ballast a lamp holder socket wiring etc, so looked into plug into the wall type fluorescent lamps. Gonna try and find some t8's I guess.A lot of reef tank people seem to use 55w PL cfls, like the light in the link I posted, for 24" deep tanks.
