I've been weighing up t5 or LED for a bit. What's the heat off t5 like moggy any idea? I'd even thought about a custom t5 setup the shop light strips and connectors are much cheaper, you just don't get the flash reflector.
Next step is a sunbed hahaha I'd love to see it done. Must be cheap sunbeds on ebay. Probably a great uv spectrum. Them Geordie shore plebs are like carrots.
room temp 18.1
parabolic shade with 600w hps = 46.2
T8 3x38w 4 foot light fixture home made piece of junk =19.7
T5 lightwave 8 x 36w measured on the top = 23.6
room temp 25.7
grostar parabolic show off shade 600w = 38.6
this could mean the white paraolic is better than the grostar if it defuses more heat as the grostar could be reflecting this heat downwards ? there is a larger hole to loose heat through the gro mind and its alot cooler to the touch
i also dry trim on the top of the T8 happily which takes about 3 days or so
interesting aye
