Do your math on this. Calculate initial cost, electrical usage, and bulb replacement over 5 years. I think on a new system start up the from scratch it is now much more economical to ge with LED's. But for an existing system to switch over it is not always the economical path.
That's a whole other debate. If I go LED I'd want the dimmable option as well for dawn-dusk cycles (I'm in the camp that thinks there's no point dimmind during the day to simulate cloudy days, but I do like a dim blue light in the morning and evening. My plan is to figure out what I would get re T5s, then compare that to my LED options and costs.
