not much, but i know a lot of people have been pondering the question of getting t5's, and how many bulbs they should get. a thread has been posted on bulb combinations, which i can't wait to try some of them. but this is just FYI on the light put out.
i am currently running 4 bulbs of the 8 bulb setup, the light is by far brighter and purer than my 4x65w compact flourescent/2 t8 bulbs i had before, and i DON'T have individual reflectors.
so, IMO, 4 bulbs with individual reflectors over a 60g is more than enough. so those of you wondering on how many bulbs, i hope this gives you an idea on what to expect.
