First of all I would like to thank everyone for the kind words on the write up, I was a little anxous about doing it as some times written work is harder than spoken. i will be doing some MH testing in the next bit and after that I will do the MH section.
VHO is only available in T12, you can get a lot of aquarium bulbs in T10 and T8, and now the newest craze is T5's but they are crazy expensive.
PC's are an example of the smaller tube technology so they are used a fair bit.
Also some of the bulbs we are using are not made for the hobby or they are a specific bulb created for a comercial use, just works out that it works for us also. an example of this is the philips NO 03 actinic bulbs. if I remember corectly they were designed for use in photocoypers originaly. now they market them for fish tanks.
