New veg tent lighting t5 or cfl?

So, I'm considering buying some t5s or cfls for my new veg tent. Mainly would like to cut down on electricity from hids.

I don't know much about flouros though. Can they compete with HIDs? I'd be looking to replace a 400w or maybe a 600w mh.

Would I be better off with t5 or with cfls?

Any advice or points in the right direction would be




Definitely go with t5.. they produce a measurable amount of lumens.. an 8 bulb 4 ft t5 pannel high output uses roughly 440 watts, while producing minimal heat. Plus... vegging plants love t5s. When it comes time to flower.. add light and your still in buisness.. i stand behind t5s...
