Something I find exciting is the lighting. I sold the T5 fixture and hung a Radium pendant over the frags, and they look way better. Just like I remember them.

Honestly, the color is better than I remember. And this is a used bulb in an old PFO pendant. IME though, the 250w radium is very different in color vs the 400w. More of a purple tinge to it.
I'm only going to supplement actinic with T5, the Radium is more than enough.

I am seriously considering going back to Radiums. I never sold my ballasts or reflectors since lately you pretty much have to pay someone to take them. Radiums are just an awesome lamp, period.

I see a number of people going back. I'm just kinda sorry I switched. But I got to play with LED and T5, so have a good comparison now.
