Its a Hydrofarm Agrobrite Designer series T5 with 6 bulbs. Its perfect 48in by 22in so it fits perfect in my wire rack and covers 21 inch seedling trays just right. So far this light has blown any of the others i have tried out of the water. When my seedlings first came up it actually sunburned a couple of them, though i did have the lights a little close. Now that they are bigger the seedlings are sucking up the light and growing way to good. I also like that they have an option to use only 3 bulbs or all six and they have an outlet built into the fixture so i can either daisy chain them together or plug in a fan to turn on and off with my lights that are on a timer. Oh and by the way i bought mine from a local Hydroponic store for 140 bucks as compared to the 220 retail price tag. Here is a link to the light set up.
