Usually there is no returns on electronics so I'm holding off on ordering the lights until I get the dimensions.

Another question... will I even notice much of a difference if I change out my 2 96w PC's for 4 54w T5's? The PC's are only 30" long and the T5's are 47" long? I will be only using them for actinics. If not too much of a difference I wont bother. Stupid questions I know, but I don't know anyone running T5's to compare against. I run Giesemann 250W 13000k for my MH

I believe you will if they are High Output T5's, regular T5, NO...

I can say my new fixture is T5HO, and I see a difference compared to the PC
