Hey m8's

https://rewci.com/raptor1t5ho.html

Anyone have the chance to use this light? Its a 4' T5HO Garage Light 5000K Lumens.

Anyway, any reviews thoughts would be great!

I think T-5's are superb veggin lights. A lil pricey tho.

Damn that light is a ripoff. You can get dual bulb 4' T12's at home depot or lowes for 10 dollars and bulbs for a few more. You can have a very nice vegging light rack for super cheap. Just my two cents.

Yea thats definately way too expensive IMO. Your mostly paying for the pretty aluminum fixture.

I get 2' T5HO self ballasted bulbs for 23 bucks cdn each and even that is expensive. I buy them anyhow because theyre super sleek and easily mountable/movable though.

But yea, T5's rock. :smile:

You can get a nice 4' shop light at Wal Mart for $10 and a 2-pack of 40w bulbs for $10. The daylight bulbs (6500k) are a little over 3000 lumens a piece. Why spend $160 for the extra lumens when you could buy tons more cheaper lights for that price.

well the light does say it produces 5000k lumens with only 55 watts! indeed the price is one the steep side

3000/40 = 75 lu/w <=normal fluro
5000/55 = 90 lu/w <=55w fluro
6300/70 = 90 lu/w <=70w hps

They actually are about the same efficiency as a small hid light but the price of $160 you could get a 250w or 400w which are much more efficient:

50000/400 = 125 lu/w
29000/250 = 116 lu/w

All in all not worth the $.
