iPower GLT5XX4 4 feet Head Start T5 Fluorescent Grow Light System

Another option for those who want a light that is very easy to use and that can be properly used by professionals and gardening beginner a like is this GLT5XX4 grow light. It is produced by a company called iPower Lighting who although is smaller than other U.S. grow light manufacturers still is among the main grow light producers and sells their lights all over the world.

Because there is only one 4 feet long bulb in this fixture it will consume you as little as 54 watts which means that you probably won’t even notice the use of your light once your electricity bill comes. But by consuming 54 watts the lamp can emit 5,000 lumens that translate in light that will advance your plant growth so they mature into big and healthy plants in smaller time period.

The bulb that this light system comes with is bulb with color temperature of 6,400 Kelvin that resembles the color temperature we can observe during the day which is why this tube will mostly promote plant growth as well as seedling and cutting growth.

Apollo Horticulture 2 feet 4 Tube Commercial T5 Fixture

For a fixture of smaller size look no further than this Apollo Horticulture brand commercial T5 fixture. The manufacturer for this light is AmazonUs/PSYMG who has been producing different products under the Apollo Horticulture brand for a while now with amazing success.

The wattage for this 4 bulb 2 feet long fixture is only 96 watts that will barely increase that how much you pay for your electricity. At the same time this T5 light converts those watts into 8,000 lumens which is considered as bright light that will in fact help your plants thrive and grow faster than they ever could growing outside under the sunlight.

Since I mentioned sunlight let me explain why the bulbs of this fixture are able to promote plant growth besides the fact that they are very efficient in terms of light brightness. That mainly is because the powerful 8,000 lumen strong light is also in the color temperature of 6,400 Kelvins which means that the color of the emitted light will resemble the color of daylight only in a stronger capacity allowing the plants to grow faster.

All the more, this Apollo Horticulture fixture also can be hung up in 3 different ways so you can chose how you setup your indoors garden, it has an efficient electronic ballast so that the lamp can work smoothly all of its lifetime, the bulbs don’t heat up so you won’t have to worry about a lot of excess heat in your grow room or that the heat could damage your plants and the bulbs will last you about 20,000 hours so you won’t have to buy replacement bulbs for a while which also saves you a great deal of money.

The dimensions of this T5 fixture are 23 by 13 by 2 inches (58.42 x 33.02 x 5.08 cm) which means that the light won’t take up a lot of space despite being a 4 bulb setup and the lamp weights only around 12.1 pounds (5.48 kg).

Sun & Stars Lighting 4 feet 4 lamp T5 High Bay Fluorescent Lighting Fixture

A light that is meant for little bit different application is this High Bay Fluorescent Lighting Fixture that is made by Sun & Stars Lighting, a light manufacturer who have been producing high quality, efficient and environmentally friendly lighting products of for over 6 years now.

With different application I meant that this light fixture is one of those that can not only be hung up 6 to 12 inches for the plant canopies and used as a grow light to help the plants under it grow faster and better but it also can be used as a regular warehouse or office lighting because it is made from heavy duty steel that is pre-treated with iron phosphate that makes the fixture that much durable against different conditions and prevents it from rusting.

As for efficiency this light is not only cost efficient but also efficient in terms of how powerful it is. The wattage for this lighting fixture is 216 watts but those watts ensure that the light also emit light worth 20,000 lumens meaning that the light will be very bright lighting up any space where this fixture is placed.

But if this light can be used as regular industrial light why should you use it as a grow light for your plants? Well there are several reason for that. First off this light has an interior that is lined with chrome mirrored material so that it is reflective and will direct all emitted light only towards objects that are under this light. Secondly the light has special v-clip and chain hanging kit that allows you to easily install it in your grow room. And thirdly the ballast that comes inside of this particular fixture is specially made so it can be work also in damper locations therefore the light can be placed even in a humid grow room and it will work just fine.

Just remember that if you buy this fixture you will have to buy T5 bulbs separately but that is a small inconvenience considering how useful this 48 by 13 by 4 inch (121.92 x 33.02 x 10.16 cm) 12.8 pound (5.8 kg) light is and how easy it is to grow plants with it.

Sunblaster 904298 T5 Fixture and Reflector

And the last grow light in this list of best of the best available grow lights is this T5 fixture by SunBlaser. SunBlaster Lighting who are producing these fixtures is a manufacturer who really thinks about what they are offering to their clients always trying to find the newest and most innovative technology to improve their grow lights with.

And this light system is no different because it is a fixture and reflector combination that has the potential to give you extremely good results. The fixture part of the combo comes with multiple great features such as electronic ballast that will balance the voltage of the light keeping it running for a long time, mounting clips that allows you to hang up the light easily without having to buy additional hanging equipment and a daisy chain option that lets you plug together up to 8 fixtures of different lengths and bulb counts and power them all from one single outlet.

But the star of this combo is the reflector that is crafted using new nanotechnologies which allows it to have the ultimate reflective surface letting the plants receive more light. It is even speculated that the NanoTech reflector increases the lumen output of the light three times making it probably the most powerful single bulb 4 feet fixture between all similar ones that are available on the market right now.

Speaking of lumens the official lumen output for this SunBlaster fixture and reflector combo is 3284 lumens and to be able to produce these lumens the fixture needs to consume 54 watts of electricity which is not at all much considering the lumen count and that most everyday appliances consume much more than that.

This powerful fixture is compact and small, fitting in even very small indoors garden setups because it is only 49.5 long, 3.5 wide and 2 inches high (125.73 x 8.89 x 5.08 cm). And the lamp weights mere 1.8 pounds (0.81 kg).

What are T5 grow lights?


t5 grow lights
T5 grow lights are florescent tube lights that have the T5 sizing standards and are made in fixtures for plant indoor growing. There are various different T5 light sizes from one bulb 2 feet fixture to massive 8 bulb 4 feet grow lights made for industrial scale growing. T5 grow lights are specially designed for plant growing as they have the right color temperature light output, their reflectors reflect all the light downward and the lumen output as well as efficiency is usually quite high. These fixtures can be mounted in various positions and locations and basically any indoor plant grower can choose the correct light size for their requirements.

Why use T5 lights over other light sources?

T5 fluorescent lights are very efficient, they have a low profile and they produce a very great light spread. All this put together makes them one of the best grow light option out there. These T5 bulb fixtures are usually no more than 6 inches (15 cm) thick and that means you will be able to mount them inside any grow area that is large enough for plant cultivation, including a portable greenhouse for winter. But because there are many light size option you will also have the means to grow huge plants with for example 4 feet 8 bulb light fixtures. Fluorescent lights usually have around 20000-hour bulb lifespan and that means you will have to change them less frequently than HID or other grow lights. These fixtures with their long-lasting bulbs also stay cool and will not create that much additional heat in your growing area so you will be able to keep the temperature down to an acceptable range even in the heat of summer. The bulbs themselves can also be easily exchanged and because T5 is the most efficient fluorescent light tubes they can exceed 100 lumens per watt efficiency and that is HID light territory.

T5 color spectrum, efficiency, PAR

T5 light sources are the most efficient fluorescent lights. Their efficiency can rival even the mighty High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide light sources but be careful as even between T5 fixtures there can be quite a big difference. This distinction means that by buying the right fixture you can get more than 10% more light. That may sound a ridiculously small amount but do the math and you will see that in the course of the fixtures life you will get dramatic energy and money savings. T5 lights typically come with 70 to 100 lumens per watt efficiency and usually as the bulbs gets longer the efficiency increases. That means you will get more efficient light source buying a 4 feet fixture than 2 feet fixture. But keeping in mind the dimensions also see what works best for your growing area. T5 lights can be found in a wide range of color temperatures from 2700K to 6500K and even some mid ranges like 3000K and 5000K bulbs. All these are just color spectral outputs that state what kind of light will be produced and that 2700K light will create a warm yellow light that is typical to our evening Sun, but 6500K light is similar to daylight Sun. Plants need different light and because there are all these different color spectrum bulbs you must give your plants the proper light all trough their entire growth cycle.  Another thing where T5 light often excel is the PAR or Photosynthetically Active Radiation ratings. Sometimes manufacturers design and create their bulbs with the specific thought of plant growth in mind so they make these bulbs with added elements inside like sealed arc tubes that give off different spectrum light that is beneficial to plants even if the overall lumen/watt efficiency is not that high.

T5 light sizes

As I stated before T5 lights come in a wide range of sizes from two feet one bulb to 4 feet 12 bulb fixtures and everything in between. Most often these lights come with bulb pairs like 2 feet 2 bulb fixtures or 2 feet 4 bulb fixtures and it is best to get a bigger light as there is always the option to not turn on some of the lights and only run few of them. Here will be all the sizing options:

  • 2 Feet 1 Bulb,
  • 2 Feet 2 Bulb,
  • 2 Feet 4 Bulb,
  • 2 Feet 6 Bulb,
  • 2 Feet 8 bulb,
  • 2 Feet 10 bulb,
  • 2 Feet 12 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 1 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 2 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 4 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 6 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 8 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 10 Bulb,
  • 4 Feet 12 Bulb.

As you can see you have a wide range of choices but it is better to get a bigger fixture as there will always be the option to not run some of the bulbs but if you get a smaller fixture you will have to change it or add another one if your plants exceed that lights growing potential.

Buying guide

When you are thinking about buying your first T5 grow light there are various options to consider and different factors to examine before you can do a purchase. You obviously need to find the best size and color temperature bulbs but it is also crucial to compare manufacturers and find the one that makes the best light in all categories. Here will be some of the factors you need to consider:

Price – First off as always is the price as many of us are cash strapped and don’t want to waste money on lights that cost as high as multiple hundred dollars. I have found that money or the price is the last factor to check as usually there are other factors to consider beforehand and the price can be the overall equalizer that will ultimately give you insight into which light to ultimately buy. When you have thought about all the other factors then and only then you can compare the prices. When you have come down to multiple choices only then the cheapest one of those will usually be the best one.

Manufacturer – Manufacturers each create their lights a little bit differently from the screws they use to materials that are used in creating the whole fixture. You need to closely examine what other products every manufacturer makes and are they competent in providing you with the best T5 grow lights possible. I think that there are some well known brands that can be trusted but of course there are also some unknown manufacturers that make amazing products so be sure to examine all the factors from that specific company’s size to their other products.

Size – Size as you may know by now size is a very broad factor. From those 2 feet 1 bulb fixtures to 4 feet 12 bulb lights there is a huge difference and everyone will need to find the best size that will fit their specific needs. When you are thinking about the size you obviously need to measure your growing area and know how long and how wide of a fixture you can buy. Then you also need to know how many plants you will put in that space for example if you are going to only grow seedlings in the spring then 2 bulbs will be enough but if you would like a year round spice garden in your kitchen counter then 2 bulbs will give too low of a light output to give you the desired growth you need. Good thing about T5 fixtures is that they are very thin and will not require a lot of vertical space but be sure to measure the width and length properly!

Bulbs – When buying a T5 fixture another factor to consider is the specific bulbs that you will receive as there are bulbs specifically made for flowering and others are made for vegetative growth stages. Those bulbs have varying expected lifespan and their efficiency can also vary. So be sure to take all these factors into consideration when looking at your next T5 light. Be sure to also check if those bulbs are NO (Normal Output), HO (High Output) or VHO (Very High Output) bulbs as that will make a significant difference in the electricity usage and lumen output, but most often these fixtures are High Output ones as they have the best power to efficiency ratio.

Manufacturers

T5 grow lights are manufactured by a wide range of companies where some are well known brands but others are newcomers. To fully compare them all you need to see how strong the competition is and only then you can see which manufacturer best suits your needs.

Hydrofarm

Hydrofarm is one of the best known hydroponic grow supply manufacturing company that has more than 4000 products and they range from grow lights to various grow light supplies.

LuxStar is a relative newcomer to the T5 grow light scene and there is not that much information about this company but what I can tell you is that their products are well built and have great efficiency as well as design. LuxStar creates various light models and one of their lines is a T5 HO bulb fixtures that can brush elbows with the most advanced fluorescent grow lights but they differ with the price and their bulbs also have unique 3000K and 5000K color temperatures that can give your plants additional light spectrum for even better growth.

Quantum lights have the best efficiency and plant growth ratios of any other T5 grow light and that means more growth from the same amount of power input.

Sunleaves

Sunleaves is another newcomer to the T5 grow light scene but from experience many indoor gardeners say that their products have top quality and they are fairly cheap. Sunleaves is not a small company but they just recently have expanded their product line to T5 lights and so only the time will tell if their products will stand the test of time.
