T-5 Bulb combo ??

[Frank]

Going to do 6 t-5 for plus LED's over the new cube? Dont know allot about t-5 bulb color.. So what color would you run I want to use blues and white.. Im doing two t-5 and then LED's and then two more T-5 and LED's and then the last t-5. What color would you run?

I really like the 454's for blue. For the whites I use 10k bulbs I think (scratch)

 

Too many bulbs to keep track of with 12 of them in the fixture..(laugh)

I have seven rows on my fixture.

 

This is the way they come on as well

 

first 2 - 454 or ATI blue+ --12 or 14 hr

next 2 -same or maybe one being a aquablue+ -- about 8hr

next 3 -2 aquablue+ and one 10K -- about 5hr

 

depending on how your fixture turns the rows on will depend on how you do it.

As well as if you want to go full sps's

 

Not sure what to do with the LED's

I have a fairly popular combo of 4 ATI blue plus, an ATI purple plus, and a GE 6500K white. My fixture is a Tek 6 lamp.

I too think a purple would help with pinks/reds and balance the ATI blues. I use a Fiji Purple on a 8 X 54W t5 light Tek.
