I had to vote for the sunpower, seeing as how I ordered it from concepts this past weekend.

If you go with T-5's, be prepared to replace your bulbs often. If you don't like the look of LED's though, your best to go with T-5's.

You dont agree that with Sunpower or Powermodule, active cooling can give you almost a year with the bulbs?

I ran the power module for years, bought a par meter the bulbs last for years before noticeable drops in par levels, it is the spectrum that shifts and you can notice a different colour. My vote would be ati absolutely loved my light miss it as can't get no where near the growth and colour with led.

maybe you can be the guinea pig for everyone and get the sunpower and run it for a bit then i will give ya a LED to run for a while and if neither is to your liking we can try a hybrid. I just am not sure on how the T5s hold up for resale value as i wouldn't want you to lose money when you sell it at the end
