you could stick with the t8's and get something like interpet's triphsophour
grow tubes, or, you could install some t5 tubes under the flaps to increase
the total wattage and improve plant lighting no end.

Another option would be to replace the juwel lighting unit with an arcadia i
bar for t5's and use that, the flaps just slot into it.

I have a vision 180 and have just bought a t5 electronic controller and 2 39
watt t5 tubes and clipped them in underneath the flaps, works a treat.
