just recieved my 4foot 8bulb t5 fixture from htg supply. i chose all grow bulbs 54 watts each 6400k/5000 lumens, but 1 of my bulbs was bad so i now have to mess with the hassle of returning a single bulb and recieve another delivery from ups. another complaint i have is why are the t5;s running so hot temps are soreing over 80 a/c in the house is turned down to 71 yet i cant keep it cool. runs just as hot as my 600 mh which is why i purchased the t5's. i had a regular 4 foot 4 bulb floro's and it was way cooler... i thought these t5's was supose to be more light and less heat. AHH THAT FEELS BETTER THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT ALITTLE..... now my question is it the ballist makeing the heat or the bulbs and if its the bulbs are there any bulbs that run cooler thanks and sorry for the ranting...
