Review
This quality T5 fixture is one that most T5 grow light users have been searching for, because this light fixture combines light quality, energy efficient, easy mounting and great design in one simple High Output T5 fixture that is responsibly priced and will be delivered to you in short amount of time.
This light fixture will produce very bright and powerful light while consuming only a total of 432 watts for all 8 of the 4 feet long bulbs. The thing about this T5 light is that Hydro Crunch has developed a special and unique lamp spacing for the bulbs, that will provide maximum coverage and the best light distribution to help the light do even more for the plants that are placed under it.
Additionally this light can be Daisy Chained with up to three similar lights meaning that you can expand your grow operation simply and effortlessly. And since the light don’t produce a lot of heat it won’t heat up even the smallest grow room as well as won’t burn the plants as long as no plant is toughing the bulbs.

This T5 fixture come equipped with a 95% reflective aluminum reflector that will reflect almost all of the light that shines form the lights back to the plants giving them the lumens and power they need to grow tall and wide. But the ballast that is placed inside this fixture is an electronic ballast that will control the power flow of the light, making sure that there are no shortages or no power buildups, efficiently preventing any hot spots from developing.
Bulbs

Hi there, Where are these sold ? Where is the price list?
I live in Canada and I’m wanting a grow light for succulent plants. Thank you for your time.

You can check my website that will direct you to Amazon, your local hardware store or any other of the bigger lamp manufacturers or distributors because many of them have international shipping.

Any comment specifically on orchid culture, flowering?

Four-bulb 4 or 8-feet fixture placed about 6 to 8 inches away from the tops of your orchids should be enough to add extra lighting for orchids in a growing area that is about 20 inches wide. Use two 3,000 Kelvin and two 6,500 Kelvin bulbs in the fixture and you should be good to go!
