T4 PL

[cherabin]

I just accquire 2 sets of 2nd hand CR PL lighting (2 x 55W) and am hoping to utilise the set for the 4' planted to come. But as you guys know it, the CR lighting is actually using T4 PL instead of the conventional PL tubes (hence making it possible to squeeze 2 x 55W into the tiny casing.

My query here is in terms of light intensity, does a T4 PL actually rate lower than a normal PL or is it the same?

Are there any shops (be it LFS or lighting of hardwareshop) that carry 'branded' T4 PL like Osram, Philips?

Many thanks in advance.

you may want to try sinter electronics at 3rd floor of sim lim tower. they do carry osram.

not too sure about the light intensity. should be similar else higher output.
