You might want to try and post in the lighting section. There are guys that roam around in there that know lots and lots about lighting and fixtures.

I have a proflex model 1, and I run a 6500k cfl light over it, (Compact fluorescent light) it didn't come with it but you can buy the light and light fixture cheap at home depot or lowes. Best to buy one online, save you 40-50$ then buying it at yoru local lfs,

what kind of t5, 2x 10,000k or 1 10,000k 1actinic?
