what are T5, T8 or T12 bulbs?
How important is the amount of lumen a lamp is emitting?
I have found the red and blue lights Becky mentioned before, they are TCL lights (?)
(75 Watt Turbo Neon 9500°K BlueSky "Cutting" Light and Turbo Neon TCL 75 Watt 2700°K Yellow "Blooming" light)
Both give 5,000 lumen and I would use 1 of each in an armature, so the total would be 10,000 lumen.
Or I could go for 1 400watt lamp that has the full spectrum of light and would be emitting 56,500 (!) lumen
(for instance the GE LUCALOX® HO 400W lamp :

Would I need several of the blue/red armatures (because they need to be right on top of the plants?) and could I do with 1 of the 400W lamps for a larger space = more plants?
