I am now looking into 72" T5 retrofit components to build my own lighting but not having much luck searching. I was thinking about 3 or 4 T5's on each side of the 3 250-400w MH's that will be in the center of the 6' span. I would think ideally, I could find some narrow 3-4 light fixtures rather than having to build my own t5 setup but even then, the individual component choices seem limited. Would I be better off doing 2- 3' fixtures on each side?
