i'm sorry i've seen quite a few sps tanks running t5' with great results, but going on to say that T5's give a nicer tone is'nt true, my T5's gave a pretty bland color, with little shimmer, but when i switched to halides, man you can't beat that nice crisp shimmer that you get imo

Left side is under my 4 T-5 bulbs that I ran alone before. Right side is under the T-5,s also, but widely spaced front to back, as my 250w pendant is in between. Its just running a used up 14K bulb.

I think I read somewhere that T5s are more family-friendly.
