I was in a shop this year that had tons of T5HO's and I had asked the owner to turn some of them off cause I was actually seeing the defects in the basecoat, let alone the clearcoat. They made my 3000 watts of halogen seem very useless. They are the brightest units I have ever seen.

The only downfall is the price of these units depending on which one you want. They range from $150-$400.

Ya my buddy works at a electrical supply place and he showed me an 8 bulb T5 fixture, holy crap was it bright. I might have to ask him for a Christmas present.
