Mini T-5?

[Wee-Reef Master]

Does anyone know if a small T5 fixture is manufactured by any company? I'd love to find one for a small tank, say 15 or 16 inches long but delivers plenty of light. Thanks!

Smallest i've seen are 24", but it's been about a year since last looking.

Im with David at the moment. I have seen 12, 16,18 and 20" at Home Depot but I think there kelvin rating was very low once I did manage to find it, something like 2500 or 3500k, they were made by GE and they make good bulbs but you would need to heavily supplement it to make it look like a marine tank, even then it may be a harmfull spectrum as well, not sure though.

Also, are the ones at Home Depot high output or normal output? I was looking for the same and all of the small ones I found turned out to be normal output bulbs (mini shop lights essentially).

One other note, I also ran across some small "T5" fixtures that actually turned out to be Power Compacts. I guess technically they fall into the T5 category because of the bulb diameter, but it was a little misleading (a marketing ploy I'd guess) to say the least.

Ya, there Normal Output.
