Timfish Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If you want good color out of many "sps" I would go with 8. And I am so glad to see you are not going with T12, it's getting harder and harder to find the bulbs now they are illegal for new residential or commercial installation. I would worry about not being able to find the bulbs at all in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
