BRS (and other companies) sell all the quality components needed to retrofit t5's in a canopy. It still won't be cheep to do it right. good reflectors alone are $20+ each. I'd think twice about getting a cheap t5 fixture and expecting it to work near as well as an ATI fixture. I have a t5 retrofit in my canopy, by the time I bought everything including 5 fans it probably cost more than the ATI fixture but I think my set-up is better...
