Can you use t5 bulbs in this unit or just T8 &amp;T12 bulbs?

T-5 will not work, I use the T-8 Daylight deluxe it has the highest COLOR SPECTRUM 6500K

I do not think so. However, my fixture doesn't dim, so the bulb would not do so in any case. I have actually never heard of a dimmable T8 bulb of any kind.

I'm not absolutely sure. This ballast is for 40w T12 (1-1/2" diameter) bulbs. It is not designed for the T8 (1" diameter) bulbs. If you have a fixture with the 1-1/2" diameter bulbs, it should work. As others have said, a wiring diagram is included that makes replacing an old unit fairly easy.

I checked Google, and the instructions were simplified. You are looking for T4 (thats the width of the bulb) and then check the wattage you are replacing- Here it is 16w. The "T" number and wattage is all you need to know. The bulbs with this base are standardized.

They worked with T10 base LED lamps used for landscape lighting. I did not try any other bulbs.

Yes. 4' High output t5 bulbs are the 54w bulbs. Very high output (VHO) are the 95w versions while the standard is 28w for 4' bulbs.

I think the output is similar to a T8 but I am not 100% certain. I use this bulb in conjunction with a Basking bulb. I also take my beardie outside for natural sunlight whenever I can.

A 48" T5 HO bulb is 54watts. If your 48" bulb is only 32 watts, then it's either NOT High Output, or else it's not a T5. If it will fit, you might be able to use your bulbs, but you won't get the light output you paid for when you got that fixture. On the flip side, if you put HO bulbs into a "Normal" fixture, they'll burn out really fast and probably melt down your light sockets as well.

The light fixture does in fact come with a T5 bulb. The bulb is included with the fixture. I think the description (fixture only) is referring to a kit you can purchase together with this fixture and that this item is 'NOT the kit, but the fixture only'. The kit which includes this very fixture is another listing. I hope this helps. Again, this listing does come with a T5 bulb included.

As to the question of will a T-8 Fluro fit into a T-5 fluoro fixture. They do not on the fixture I have. T-5's have a smaller set of pins, where as t-8's are wider apart. I would expect a ballast to be light bulb specific. SM

Can I use these in conjunction with my t5 fluorescents at the same time in the same grow tent during the flowering cycle.

yea, its just a normal T5 light. can be removed and put into another T5 fixture. same with this fixture allowing other T5 bulbs.

if you have push in style bulbs in your car you need to find out what size they are. The T5 is common size for most vehicles. However in the truck I put them in I had 2 different sizes in the dash. They were a T5, and a T10.

The bulbs I have are 32W bulbs. I don't see a "T" number. they are the shorter of the standard flurescent tubes.If you want, I'll measure them and get more numbers. Hope this helps.
