T5 HO output zoo med bulbs

[bradley]

So we have the Arcadia HO T5 lighting which many members have tested and used for a while now with great results.

Zoo med have now made their own T5 lighting that comes in 5.0 and 10.0 bulbs. has anyone got these yet? Personally I feel more comfortable with Arcadia as I have regular contact with the creator of their bulbs. They seem to be slightly cheaper.

Any thoughts?

They have only been out 90 days. Odds are they are made in germany like their other high quality bulbs. all the 5.o is good 10.0 is bad folk will think we are radiating our chams to death since the new ho 10.0 puts out 2x the uv

A better question would be if the 10.0 = arcadia 12% and 5.0 = arcadia 6%.

Another question is did they get the phosphor formula right or are we going to have another cfl fiasco.
