Want to get some feedback on the E5 LED bulbs out for T5,s. I have a Blue Pop E5 bulb along with my T5's that really makes the corals.....pop!
 
Agree that T5's along with the E5's primarily the Blue Pop bulb go very well together. I currently am running 6 bulb setup 3 Blue+,1 Coral+,1Blue Pop and a Purple+;)
 
They are coming out with the E5x in 2017. Does anyone know if they fixed the issue with dimmable fixtures?
 
I say nay, I had 2 x E5's blue pops 24w, both failed within 8 months of use. Far from the 8 year promise! One day it started smelling like burning electronics and that was the end of them. They were running in an ATI Powermodule 6x24w fixture with fan cooling.
There is a 3 year warranty and they did replaced 1 of the 2- E5's. I'm trying to get the second bulb replaced, however they are not responding to emails / radio silence. The customer service is very lacking and requires you to chase them down to get any information. Sad, they are expensive and I had high hopes for these. Going back to ATI T5's! lesson learned.
