T5 Light Fixtures

[chillgreenhill]

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a couple 4 foot T5 light fixtures. Wondering what the better brands are out there as I have heard of ballasts failing early in their life. So what are some of the better brands to go with and is there any I should just avoid? Thanks in advance!

I have had good luck with the Sun Blaze brand. Had 2 of them running for years. 1 ballast failure and they are super easy to replace if they do go out. Cheap to. That said go with LED. T5 HO is fucking super hot bulbs man. One of the least efficient lighting systems to grow under. The efficacy is shit mate. You will save power and have more light for your plants.
Have a great day all. Peace negative.
