Led t5

[the3rd]

I was wondering if any of y'all has use the LED T5 bulbs? I'm just seeing y'all success and what color scheme you would recommend for a 3-foot 6 bulb fixture

Uhh...never heard of anyone doing that
I would imagine the par value would be extremely low and not do much at all for growing anything

Here's what they look like

39 watt, 18k
Looks like it would do ok....
If you try it let us know how it does

There are some threads of hobbyists using euroqautics e5 led tubes. There were alot of mixed reviews. There were also hobbyists having issues with the tubes not operating properly or causing issues with their t5 units.
Euroqautics also came out with a second generation tube that was supposed to fix the issues of the previous tubes and produce higher par. Hobbyists were still having issues with their units and the tubes as well. I believe BRS did a test with the tubes at their facility. Not sure what the results were. Never looked into it further after the results hobbyists were having with them.
Many of the more popular online vendors stopped carrying the euroqautics e5 tubes. I've never seen the ones you posted before.
Other than the reviews I've read on R2R and other forums, I can't give any personal experience about led tubes. I run a led/t5 hybrid myself. No led tubes.

Here are some threads with reviews.
