Lumens for a T8 light fixture

[shimmz22]

hey all, i was wondering if anyone knew how many lumens a 4 foot T8 light fixture with two 65000K bulbs emits?

Dam there was a thread that went over what t5's, t8's and I believe t12's put out lumen wise and which was the best. I forget who posted it....I think it was JAAM....maybe he will chime in.

T5's---- 92.6 lumens per watt
T8's---- 85 lumens per watt
T12's--- 30 lumens per watt

hope this helps out a little. PEACE!

Seedlings and cuttings, T12's are awesome.

I will stick with my HO T5's.....

And i stick with my t8s just for the price difference.


24/0 costs more $$$ for t5 bulbs, i really do love my Diamond Plated T8s with 6500k phillips bulbs. Full year on same bulbs too

As mentioned T8's do reallly well for seedlings and clones, i can keep em really close and get very tight growth, just cant leave em there to long.
