Anyone tried this brand of T5

It comes with a Spectralux Blue 6500 Kelvin F54T5/HO 5000lumen lamp. I can get this locally for about the same price as online. Ive got a couple fixtures already but 1 more would help. Im about outta room now. :D

By the time i buy another cheaper t8 or t12 fixture with grow bulbs im nearly at the price of this one. Next year these could be chained if i like them.
 
It only has one bulb, but it should be a decent light. I paid 100 for a 4 bulb at Lowes. It has 4100k bulbs in it, I bought one 6700k bulb from the pet store but it was 20 bucks, I think 6500k bulbs are usually around 10 if you can find them.

The light you posted would maybe be able to be spread over a bigger area if you ended up linking them together.
 
Walmart has 2 bulb led shoplights, they are crazy bright, I am probably gonna grab one. The ones I'm seeing on the internet say they are 4500 lumens, but my friend has one and they are brighter than t5 for sure.
 
This comes with reflector and all hanging hardware too. Im running 4 bulbs atm. 2-t12 GroLux and 2-t8 6500k day lighters. Grolux bulbs are over $13 a pair The day lighters are about that. A t8 fixture is around $15 for a cheapy and t8 grow bulbs are not easily found around here. They are all either t5 or t12. Menards is the only one with the t8 Octron Grow bulbs.
 
I like the looks and that it can be chained later. Im not familiar with the actual bulbs that come with it but t5 grow bulbs are easy to get.

I'm just running 6500k bulbs in my t8 and it seems to do just as good as the t5. It was 30 for the fixture and I bought a 12 pack of bulbs for 30. Also bought some stuff to hang it, probably 15 bucks.

Post pics of your progress when you get the sunblaze

I use the Spectralux 6500K T5HO in my 6-lamp industrial highbay fixtures. IMO, they are the best 'standard' growlamp.

I just replaced them after three years because they were starting to get a little dim. I paid $11.95 each at one of my local hydro shops.
 
Thanks, that is what i needed to know. The reviews appeared good and online they can be found for under $7 a piece before shipping. T5s though are easy to find around here just not that brand. Around here is mostly Hortilux, Agrosun and Vitalume T5s. I actually found the Sun Blaze at a local nursery with just a few "hydro" items. I believe they stock the bulbs too.
 
I just checked with this place online https://growershouse.com
