Okay I thought so. So some how you would have to change the plug on the reflector to plug into the wall for Cfl have there own Ballasts already. And hps Ballasts won't work for cfl
Edit: but the reflector and socket will work for the Cfl just have to modify the plug on the cord.
Um depends I'm not sure I have a 125 Watt Cfl and it would fit my hps fixtures but the plugs are different Cfl would just plug into the wall your hps runs to a ballast then to the wall correct?
Try. Vinager and dawn dish soap Vinager attracts them and the soap gets em stuck. Mix in a bowl of some sort. And put it in your room. It will take time to kill them off completely but it always worked for me.
I've never had a t5 light burn my plants. I keep it inches away sometimes the plant touches the light. I don't think it's heat damage. I think it's nutrient burn. If anything. What is the watts on your t5? And do you have air circulation around the plant.
