I'm expecting a pretty decent price drop in my electricity bill. A notable difference is my room temperature. Also no big noisy fans! |
Keeping the
T5's cool will improve the light quality and life of the bulbs. You will still get a fair bit of heat, but it won't be as noticeable as the halides, and it's better dispersed. If you can incorporate those little 4" computer fans, you'll get good results.
