What a bummer... wifey had these stashed away... but with everything I'm reading here... We're gonna go with T5HO for the new 2x2x4... for Geo.

$39 clearance, someone saw someone coming.

Could always do a led grow light retro fit

Are there retrofits available for T8s? I've only seen the t5ho LED retrofits.

A T8 12% or 10.0 is not a bad option for Panthers. However T5HO all the way for me. More efficient and more power (cue Tim Taylor Home Improvement grunt)

Since we have the fixture, would we be better getting the bulb for it or staying with the Dome from the 16x16x36 cham kit?... Till we get the T5HO

There is nothing wrong with a T8, not as energy efficient but who cares honestly if you already have them. The reading is the same with a T5 as with a T8 using a solar meter. The T5 and T8 means the diameter of the bulb. One is 5/8” and one is 8/8” = 1”.
