What's T6? There's T8 and T12 but never heard of a T6. There's also no option for halide+t5+led. Seems like lots of options for other.

That combo probably falls under other :-)

And that's why there is an "other" option because there can be so many "other" options ? :-)

The Google will tell you al about T6 which really should have fallen under "other" as well but I recently found some tanks using them.
