Genuity, I ended up buying a four foot, four tube t-5 54watt from a place that sells lighting for contractors. It's called a high bay light, it cost me about one twenty with four 4100k tubes included and puts out twenty thousand lumens. Much cheaper than the grow lights and does the same thing. It also has an electronic ballast.
I found the place I got mine, here's the link.

also 4100k is the wrong spectrum for best growing cannabis.Hey Heads Up, I have grown under t-5 lights before, I would recommend them for the vegetative state, but not for flowering, currently i flower under around (400 watt hps) 50000 lumens, about 40% more than the setup you just bought for another 100 bucks you could get a nice hps setup off ebay. I beg to differ it is not the same thing, i have seen some good cfl grows, but with just 20000 lumens it does NOT compare. Send what you ordered back and spend the extra hundred bucks, you will be very grateful you did.
