Question What is actual 36" T5 Length with Endcaps?

Can someone help me with this? I've got 33 inches to work with in my canopy. Can I fit the 36" T5's in there? Thanks.

No, 33" is not enough
Bulbs are 34" alone, without measuring I think with endcaps it's like 36.5-37" end to end

Thanks for the info, maybe I'll do 24" instead. Are the bulb ends the same size, or will I have to change the end caps? I already have a 48" setup.
