T5 lite set for 4ft, 4 lites sets

[tiger]

Hi,

Saw on offer at Farmart (Edwin), $340 for a set of T5, 4 lite set. Is this price OK.

Also what must I look out for, like what sort of T5 light (brand), how many K, 10K 20K?? What eballast is good (brand) and any other pointer I should look out for.

I am thinking of 1 blue and 3 white, this combo OK??

Think Evil also selling but around $400+ for a similar one, any other place to look out for.

Also what is meant by true T5?? tks

Intensity and life span not there for china made tube.

German brand is better. Dun compromise when come to lighting, It really makes a different.
