Hey guys last year i purchased a 6 bulb T5 fixture wich originaly came with :
4 Blue T5 bulb
1 Purple T5 bulb
1 white 10k bulb
It comes with a timer wich has a Blue and a White button.
Blue button turns on 2 slots (wich were Purple bulb + 1 of the blue bulb)
White button turns on the other 4 slots (wich were 3 blue + 10k white)
Now is time to replace my bulbs after a year and when i got to my LFS she told me shes not selling Puple bulb anymore its Backorder discountinued cause they wouldnt sell them enough and advised me to go with 3 blue bulb + 2 white 15k + 1 white 10k instead .
So when it turs on in the morning (Blue switch) i now get 2 blue bulbs (instead of 1 blue and 1 purple) and im not wild about the color it gives.way too blueish
When all of them are on later on its fine..
I am wondering what do you guys suggest for my fixture as a combo of T5 bulbs... ?
What would be best for me ?
Do you guys also use 3 blue 3 white ?? If so how do you set your timer ??
Thanks for suggestion
