That is interesting. It’s certainly a fantastic price!
IF I have to add another T5 fixture I will be shopping around. That one seems to be worth looking at!
Thank you, @PhilCuisine 
I appreciate it!

And, it looks like I will, be adding one, I believe. I’ll make provisions for an additional fixture.
Your suggestion is in the running!
Thank you again, @PhilCuisine .

Here’s a link to a supply house, just to give you an idea of how versatile T5 bulbs have become. They have LED tubes that work in that fixture, UV, veg, super veg, finishing spectrum, all in T5 type bulbs.
Make sure to get the newer High Output “HO” bulbs. They’re 54w per tube.
Anyway, the link is to just show the newer technologies. You can beat those prices usually. T5 HO grow bulbs.
I’ve never shopped these guys, I was just using their site to show the technology. Peace

That’s interesting as well! IF true, I just gave it a glance, they’ve got it dialed in. I wonder if they have a LED T5 that will walk the dog? 
Thank you, @GMan !

I’m sure you already got a light, but I say this all the time just incase.
Kingbrite.
Quantum board quality LED for half the price. I’m pushing 320 w right now for 180ish shipped.

So many choices! Thank you, @PhilCuisine
Besides the lights, It was maybe a year ago I walked in to Menards for the 1st time. Pretty awesome establishment! Extremely wide selection of goods but, even beyond their offerings, their concrete floors amazing !
Thanks, man!

Yes, but only just. The T5 HOs finally arrived today. Finally!
Once I get to the LED stage I will dig deeper into your recommendation, @Beerus …
Thank you!

I use a 24” duralux 8 lamp T5 for seedlings/rooted clones. It has a switch to turn on 4 or 8…it works

This thread is funny cuz I pulled the trigger last night and bought the argibrite 8 bulb T5 setup for $200. I was going to toss this one but woke up this morning, got buyers remorse and cancelled it. This one does just fine. The argibrite unit was a little more spread out which I liked but boo hoo.
I’m hearin’ ya, @Hydro-420 !
Earlier I said I may add 1 more tube but then as I was working on the frame last night I started remembering how I used those 3 T5 fixtures before. Like this…
But, looking at it just now when I was squaring things up to finalize the 3 locations for corresponding 1/2 laps, It’s looking like I should probably add 4 more tubes.
IF I proceed now with the parts I have now I’ll be hemmed in to a 3 tube fixture with the possibility of modifying it to 5 at most.
The struggle is real! 
I’m going to let this pondering wade around a bit longer in my Thought Process Machine and see what it comes up with!

IF you’re serious, I would certainly encourage you.
Wood by Wright builds a bunch with simple hand tools. He makes simple hand tools to build with.
Again, I encourage you.
