I think it's priced okay for what it is, it's just stupid to buy a 2ft bulb unless you really only have 2 feet.

And unless power or heat is an issue, metal halide are at least half the price, and can be 1/10th-1/20th the price. Figure a $200 1000 watt MH covers at least 25 square feet, you'd need $2,000+ to do that with T5's.

One plant in a 8in pot. I decided for my first grow to go with CFL since I'm in the process of replacing over $3,000 worth of tools.

if you read what you get, free shipping as well, i think its a great buy. Who cares what everyone says, if you have the need for a small fixture like this, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better buy for a t5.

I believe sprial cfl are the way to go. I could fit up to 14 26-watt sprials in a 3ft long space. At 2,800 lumens each. 14 x 2,800 = 39,200 lumens. Not even 70 bucks
