I'm sure someone has looked into this already. What was the outcome? For that price I would have to think the lights are weak.

Well that would be too easy, wouldn't it? Sorry for wasting the bandwidth! I'm really just looking to add some shimmer to my T5s. I've tried several options, but none have really been able to punch through. Oddly enough, my Maglite works great!

Try metal halides or plasma

or you could make your own led fixture with high power crees

I could probably manage that, but I'd need some help, for sure. If I'm only looking to add some shimmer, what setup would I need?

Definitely let us know on that one. I'm not afraid of DIY, I just don't want to overspend on stuff I may not need. I would think 4 or 5 clusters would provide sufficient shimmer. Then again, we may be putting together an order for those LED fixtures from China!
