T5 Help

[KryptoBuds]

So I was looking at some t5 lights and wonder which would be better.

Im looking at:
Sun Blaze t5-48
Sun Blaze 960305 | Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture

or
HydroFarm FLP48
HydroFarm FLP48 - Tube Designer Fixture - 4 ft. 8 Lamp

Sun blaze only needs 54.0 W where Hydrofarm needs 432 W... My thinking is more wattage the more intense power for the plant but would like an experienced input. Thanks for reading and responses are recommended!!!

Hey man, just letting you know that I'm pretty sure there's a slight issue with the math on those lights. The Sun Blaze says it's only 54w, but I'm pretty sure that the 54w is per bulb. Both are 8x T5HO bulbs, so I would have to assume that they are the same wattage. Also, both say 40,000 lumens, so that only gives more evidence to my claim. I think you'd be fine getting whichever is less expensive. Or, whichever looks better. Up to you! That is a lot of light though, so I hope you have a bunch of plants to veg!

Sunblaze all the way! I have 3. 1- 48, 1 -22 and 1- 24 I use the from seedling through veg and I couldn't be happier with the results.
