Replacing T5 Bulbs

FlamesFan · 12/15/2008, 06:30 PM

Hi, I have a Sunlight Supply 48" Tek Light T5 Fixture and my bulbs are aproaching the 1 year mark so its probably time to order some new bulbs. I was curious if I need to replace my Aqtinic+ bulbs aswell. As far as I know they are mostly only for color and not for growth right?

Well they can go for a little longer (t-5 bulbs last 14-16 months) but if you insist (which is good) they replace all. actinics are true really not much but it does have its benefits and should be replaced with all. good luck Wiz
