    Default Can I use t8 tubes ?

    Evening all,

    Was just about to purchase a t5 prop light, but today on me rounds at work I find a pallet stacks high with 60cm x 60cm t8 tube fixtures, boxes and boxes of tubes old hps warehouse lights reflective alloy like the stuff the barn style reflectors are made from....

    But anyway can I use t8 18w for propigation ?
