Hydrafarm has a high performance t5 reflector. It comes with 1 reflector and bulb in each box with a bracket to attach it to another kit. you can put up to eight together and the can all hook up so you turn the first one on and they all come on. They are really bright and work really well.

HTG Supply is a good distributor and they have excellent prices also, as 420ish said.

LED are much more expensive I think?

How many T5 do you use and for how many plants?

What are you planning to do with these? Is this just a veg light or an all-in-one?

Any reason for wanting the smaller watt versions? Why get the 24w when you can go straight to the 55w 2-foot PLLs? A hell of a lot more lumens for the same (or less) $$ as you'll find in the 24w models...

Unless you're just trying to save a few bucks on electric. With the ones I list below though, it's better to have a higher light density if you're considering flowering with these:

HTG Supply 2 Foot 2 Lamp PL-55 Tek Lamp $69.95

HTG Supply 2 Foot 4 Lamp PL-55 Tek Lamp $134.95

Best value on the market (and lumen bang-for-your-buck $$) in the pre-made T5 fixtures right now. Kickass reflectors, hangers, the works.

Expect to get about 1oz+ per tube a harvest with these ScrOG-style.

If you really want the 24w ones though, here they are:

24w 2 Foot Growbright Fixtures

Not much price difference, eh? And they also cost more, too...

I want to use them for veg.

In fact, I didn't realized that I was able to buy 2 ft bulbs of 54w. I thought they were just in 14w and 24w.

HTG don't ship to Canada! :(
