which is brighter (more lumens) per watts..P.C. or T5

[hdchay]

hi, i was thinking about getting P.C. lights but then i wondered on a per wattage basis is T-5 brigher (more lumens)

So the comparion is on a brightness per wattage basis between T-5's and power compact bulbs.

does anyone know or has seen someone making this comparison before?

thanks..

Look in the lighting forum.. I think Grimreefer or something like that has a lot of info there.. T5ho's are basically straight PC's from what I understand. They jsut do better with certain reflectors... My 2' 4 bulb t5ho fixture is only 96 watts and to my eye it seems way brighter than my 130 watt pc retro from ahsupply...
