Hi all I am going to add a couple t5 lamps to supplement my led fixtures, Wondering what type of bulbs I should go with, was thinking a couple coral plus. Any input would be much appreciated.

well I think knowing what you have in the led is important. blue/ white/red etc

I have the black box leds, blues on one chanel and a mix of 6500, 10000, 20000k on the other. Each panel has 2 green 2 violet and 2 uv, no red that's why I was thinking the coral plus bulbs, I am adding 3 sunblaster T5s into the mix and trying to decide if I should go all coral plus or mix with actinic

If you are using 3 bulbs only I would go with 2 blue plus and 1 coral plus.

What are you trying to supplement? Color? Intensity? Coverage?

Mostly color

Mostly color

I'd probably add a KZ Fiji Pink and an ATI Actinic then. The pink might be more intense than what you want though and if that's the case I'd just go with two actinic. I haven't used an actinic bulb in years, and I couldn't believe the difference when I added one to my fixture a few months ago. If you were closer I'd let you try a couple of my old bulbs.
