What is actual 36" T5 Length with Endcaps?

[xia]

Can someone help me with this? I've got 33 inches to work with in my canopy. Can I fit the 36" T5's in there? Thanks.

No, 33" is not enough
Bulbs are 34" alone, without measuring I think with endcaps it's like 36.5-37" end to end

It's actually 35.5 inches end cap to end cap with the bulb......

Thanks for the info, maybe I'll do 24" instead. Are the bulb ends the same size, or will I have to change the end caps? I already have a 48" setup.
