best light for overdriving NO on VHO

[ecardwell]

for those of you who are overdriving NO what lights are you using, and where did you get them?

I'm using F32T8 6500K lamps $3.65 each at Home Depot. They are a little yellow, but my blue actinics balance out the color.

can I put t8's in who endcaps?

You can also get 6500k t12 bulbs. I like t8's because they take up less space. I make my own endcaps. A short piece of 1" schedule 40 PVC with a PVC cap, solder the wires directly to the bulb terminals, drill a hole for the wires, seal it up w/ silicone.
