[QUOTE="JxxxOxxxE, post: 2848636, member: 388"] LED all the way...The T5 6 bulb fixtures are nice, but they use 2 ballasts a piece plus the 6 bulbs...So just 10 fixtures use 60 bulbs and 20 ballasts. That's alot of things to go wrong/replace over the life of the fixture. Plus they use a lot of energy compared to LED...When I did LED's, they were about $100 more a fixture than the 6 bulb T5.... I considered the T5's before going LED but couldn't even run as many as I wanted per bay without switching to a contactor type switch setup due to how many amps the T5's draw... I've got a 30x40 with 6 T5 6 bulb fixtures (36 bulbs total), and its not nearly as nice to work in as the LED shop... [ATTACH=CONFIG]53716[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
