yeah man, these things are awesome. I know a guy who has one. I went to his house to buy his old 1000 watt MH/HPS light and he showed me that Tek-5 8 bulb fixture he bought. He turned it on and i couldnt even look at it... he turned it off and said "it didnt even warm up yet" So anyway, i bought the 1000 HID from him and still have not used it. I want a T5 setup mainly because of the heat issues of the HID and besides, im not gonna be growing enough plants to justify using 1000 watts HPS. I have a National garden wholesale catalog with the Tek-5 fixtures in it, there are these new ones that have 8 bulbs and 2-150w HPS bulbs in it, both can work together or independantly. I think i want that one.
