8000K is what ada light bulb is. Where did you buy it from?
I never buy yet... saw it in Osram website about the light.. thinking of checking who likes den maybe can bulk purchase from Osram. They have 2 to 6 feet for T5HO.Originally Posted by Shadow
They may not have it locally
Check with my supplier that local only have for T8 for T5HO need minimum 200 pcs den only can bring in...and its not cheapThey may not have it locally

6ft T5HO, sure?

digressing a bit.
if i have a 2ft T5 LIGHT which is 24w, since T5 is supposed to be HO, how many of these should i need to give adequate lighting if i am doing a 4 ft planted tank with co2 and fert, assuming i am concentrating on plants like downoi, and gujing and hair grass, those a bit demanding types?
thanks for the advice.
haha.. a big mistake on my part.
Osram T5HO
2ft-24w
3ft-39w
4ft-54w
5ft-49w
5ft-80w
I just assume the wattage is base on 2 to 6 feet light.. which in actual there is 2 different wattage for 5 feet for reasons only osram knows.
I am using Osram 4ft T5HO cool daylight 6500k that I bought from someone at the forum marketplace for about $12 each. Looks bright and natural.
I have both 6500k and 8000k osram 54W installed in my solite light set. They are bought from NA about 7 months ago.
Maybe can check with chan if he still has stock?
Personally i find 6500k more natural than 8000k. The latter is abit harsh

hi guys, bought a 4x24w lightset from NA today. asked for a 6500k tube and mr chan have it and its osram =)
A man's meat is another's poison. I love 8000k as it brings out the red more intensely
aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transcience
