I use the Agrobrite FLT24 system for clones and new seedlings.Paid too much for it but it suits my needs.Used for anything else it would be pretty useless.
I have a 4 bulb t-5 light that I actually have to disable 2 of the bulbs for my seedlings. It’s just too bright. I will add the other two as they grow but I see no reason why they don’t make a good veg light. Much more powerful than my old compact flouro which I used for years. It’s not LED tho it’s flouroscent. But that’s my opinion.

Yeah I’m using the 4’ t-5 currently and it’s great. Will switch to LEDs once in flowering or late veg. Either way it’s a lot cheaper than my old compact flouro setup and puts out quite a bit more light so I’m happy.
