I veg with T5's and absolutely love the lack of heat, and the fact that I can get the lights within an inch or so of the plants with no burning. I have EXCELLENT growth form my plants vegging with T5's. I havent flowered with them, but have seen excellent results also. I use a 6 bulb fixture to veg, thats 30,000 lumens, and an inch off the top of the plants I am getting almost every bit of use out of those 30k lumens.
