T5 Hybrid Fixture Heat Issues

[Dlealrious]

Hi Guys, im in the market for a T5 Hybrid fixture either Aquatic Life or Noopsyche and was wondering if anyone using one has any feedback on bulb life of the T5. As these units are not fan cooler i would think bulbs would not last as long?

I don’t think most T5 fixtures have fans. I am on my first set of bulbs, so can’t help out much

T5 fixtures do have fans such as ATI or Giesmann, Hybrid ones dont seem to so the heat of the bulb would reduce life of bulb i would think.
