    if your buying linear flouresent fittings stick with t5 as the size on the t5 is standard in relation to the wattage. with the t4 the size varys depending on the manufacturer.so if you go for the t4 get plenty of spare lamps or buy a well know brand like robus or eterna.

    not too pushed on the led fittings myself because if the bulb goes you have to replace the whole fitting and example would be the led triangular fittings.
    the triangular fitting that takes the gx-53 t2 lamp is a good cfl version and the lamps are changable but exspensive. the light is excellent from them also. we sell all of the above but the most common seller is the standard round fitting that can be flush or surface which takes the 20 watt g4 lamp.
