Something is not quite right in your math.

If your 400watt MH light cost your 48$ and your 6 x T5HO cost you only 5$, then each one of your T5HO must be about 6 watt...I don't know of any T5HO that is 6 watt... My T5HO in my 24" fixture are 24 watt each, so it's 96 watt for the whole thing and that is very very far from equivalent to even my 250 watt MH.

6 x T5HO that would be about 50 watts in total would definitly NOT be anywhere near equivalent to a 400watt MH bulb.

400 watt = 48$, thus 5$ = 41.5 watt. How can that be with 6 x T5HO?

I may not be good at math, but something is not right.
