you should sell the 600's or 1 of them. I'm interested if you want to sell one.

that is absolutely a t5... the reflector makes the bulbs look a bit bigger....
if you want to be technical T5 are 5/8"- that number on most tubular fluorescent and a few other bulbs always stands for how many 1/8"s the diameter is, t5- 5/8" t8- 1" t12- 1-1/2" --- incandescent the A19 lamp is 2-3/8" --- there is a lot of info in the part numbers of lamps.... usually diameter, kelvin, CRI, and voltage
and you can buy commercial grade hi-bays like those for 100$ a piece at your local electrical distributor.... they commonly come lamped with 741 bulbs (70CRI 4100k temp....), tho, but that would depend on the distributor... they are getting cheaper due to high demand bc of the ability to replace less efficient lighting systems like HID in commercial applications

ZooMed makes a 5000K I think you can buy direct, but they sell retail and bulbs are ~ $24
Quantum makes a 6500, which I have, but want to get some 5000Ks as the 6500s made my nodes too tight
Check Fosters & Smith- discount prices + free shipping > $50, which is a big deal. Most light companies charge extra to ship 4ft tubes
Aquarium Specialties has a good inventory
Peace out
