What brand of t-5 HO bulbs?

virginiadiver69 · 08/05/2007, 08:36 AM

I am using the TRU bulbs that came free with my Tek light retro-fit setup. I am sure that these are not high quality. Please give me some names of recognized quality t-5 bulbs.

I use UV bulbs I guess thats what they are called.. they have all kinds of colors. My LFS carries them so thats why I got them.

ATI, FM, KZ, and UVL bulbs are all excellent bulbs.

ATI and UVL have both been recomended but can not find info. Will you please point me in the right direction for all four of your suggestions.
