Me too.  I've discovered alittle bit of info on the web about T 5 fixtures 
and fluorescent tubes that render true colors etc. Compared with metal 
halides the energy usage and cost savings look significant.  The 
tri-phosphorus and better tubes are a bit pricey at $10 to12 apiece, but I 
think the quality of light will be worth it. The fixtures come with 
electronic ballasts so I don't think low temperature will be a factor 
although I'm not sure.
