Hi Sammy, welcome to R2R!

ATI is my favorite brand of T5 bulb to use, they are competitive with their products and never hesitate to impress personally. Don't settle for cheaper bulbs, there isa big difference.

ATI has my vote too. I have tried them all but I will not use anything but ATI anymore.
