This big question has been on debate for a long time. Which is the best? Remember when choosing an option that you also look at who its for and do I actually need this as opposed to the other one.

After searching through tons of product info I have found some info I thought I would share.

Lumens are a measurement of visable light. So how bright are the bulbs?

T5 HO 54watt bulb produces 4,700 lumens on average thats about 87 Lpw*
PC 65watt bulb produces 4,400 lumens on average thats about 68 Lpw
MH 150watt bulb produces 15,000 lumens on average thats about 100 Lpw

*lumens per watt

These are averages with what I have found. Actual may be slightly higher or lower. I hope this helps with the light you are looking at.
