To properly cool a T5 fixture the air flow should be directed towards the labeled end of the lamp. Over cooling T5 lamps by randomly blasting them with a fan can actually reduce light output. Additionally, not protecting the reflectors on a Tek fixture with an acrylic shield is almost certain to cause pitting of the reflectors.
Trust me, I'm not criticizing lower end fixtures without having experience with them. I don't want to see you guys waste money on one only to end up spending more money down the road like I did.
