I've been planning to build a UV light source based around 24" T5 flourescent tubes. Conventional wisdom is that you need to cram the tubes pretty close together to get even light distribution.
I've also been looking at these pre-made hydroponic grow lights that look like an inexpensive ready-made solution, like this one for example. The tubes are spaced out more but they have a reflector surrounding them.
Anyone tried one of these units? I wonder if it would work or if you would get uneven lighting.
