No problem with those lights but you'll need more than one to replace a 6 bulb T5 fixture. The 48" fixture only has 24LED or 72W which is the same as one AI sol which sell for around the same price. So in reality these are competitive with many other options and are modular.

If you're switching to LEDs aim for around half your current T5 wattage for something reasonably close in power. If you're upgrading you'll want more power than that and you'll want to consider additional colors as 50/50 mix isn't ideal.
