What type of light is emitted from the T5 bulb? What type of plants will it support?

24 watts and 2000 lumens. I grew black pearl peppers from seed and this unit was terrifickeep the light about an inch from the top of the seedlings/plant. If it is too far away then the plants will get leggy.

I have a 24 inch light and I have orchids under it. I am not sure the size of the bulb. I bought this one to replace one that I had because my old one went bad.

For T5 options i had used Triangle Bulbs T30083-10 (10 pack) - F24T5/850/HO 24-Watt Straight T5 Fluorescent Tube Light Bulb, 10 Pack they had many options to choose from

Veg is excellent! With flowering, the light coverage is excellent but you have to buy 3k color bulbs and I'm not so sure on its ability for light to penetrate down into canopy.To make t5 flower successful you need to scrog, supercrop or get many nodes on canopy and you'd get amazing colas.It was worth the buy for me as its clean, barley any heat and light coverage was great for bushy and low plants.

No where on the bulb sleeve does it say T-5 Size. Instead it says, 24" 610 mm, 17 watts T8. Hope this helps. My guess is the T-5 is a shorter bulb.Sharon

I assume you mean the T10 bulbs. This fixture wasn't designed for them better to buy a regular bulb with the fixture. Only a few bucks for the bulb.

I have used 4 watt T5 wedge base bulbs from Philips as replacement bulbs myself.

It is a t8 fluorescent tube. I think you can get them at Home Depot and any online grow light source.

Generally yes, although i guess it depends what you are growing. Personally i switch to t5 bulbs that are between 30,000 k - 35,000 k. The lights it comes with are good for vegetative growth.

IT comes with a T5 bulb I don't know if it is standard - it measures 21 1/2" it seemsto be the normal T5 for the 2 foot stand

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.

According to the "National Lighting Product Information Project," 24w on this size bulb is High Output (T5 HO). A Standard T5 lamp of this length is 14w. Google: NLPIP What T5 lamps are available?

T5 - 4 ft lamp should be compatible across the board. Mine are used as grow light for my wife's African Violets and other plants - they sure like it and more blooms than ever before. She put a couple of Pontsettas on the shelf last week and they are no just blooming more, but growing too.

The Starlight LED light physically fits into the sockets of a F15T8 lamp holder. The sockets just hold the LED, but do not power the bulb. Sockets must be de-powered and LED light physically wired to 12 volts DC. We used 8 of the Starlights in our motorhome to replace standard F15T8 florescent bulbs. They are very bright and we are very pleased. I am not familiar with physical characteristics of F15T12 bulb, but am quite sure it is different than F15T8.

t5 HO is a type of bulb. It is higher in output than a standard t5, and the bulbs are not interchangeable with the two differently ballasted fixtures.It claims to be 10,000 lumens which is not necessarily a large amount when compared to HID lighting.

If you want broad spectrum bulbs, Exo Terra has the repti glo 10.0 broadspectrum for desert reptile and repti glo 2.0 to simulate bright daylight Sun. They also have bulbs for rainforest reptiles, too.
