btw this is just what i've read in my research when i was choosing bulbs for my old t5 fixture. i've never used an actinic t5 bulb.

- the actinic bulbs apparently lose all their punch much faster than the other bulbs and add very little par.

- in fixtures with a ton of bulbs their effect might not even be easily seen but perhaps not the case for you.
