OK, I'll come out of the Stone Age Renosteinke's hit it right on the head.
I've used the T-5 HO fixtures a few times and they are absolutely great. Some benefits: No waiting for it to start, and no restrike lamp needed. They can be fitted with emergency battery packs for egress/EM use. Very lightweight Use much less power than an HID. Most importantly...Ruud sent me a coffee cake at Christmas
