Lighting T8 58W 5400LM > T8 24W 2400LM LED Upgrade

[MrMann]

Hey guys,

So I got x10 5ft T8 58w 5400LM lights and I'm thinking about upgrading to LED
tubes but I'm unsure if it is a upgrade at all? The ones I am looking at are the
replacement LED for my current tubes

Current 5ft T8 58w 5400LM
Upgrade 5ft T8 24w 2400LM LED (58W Equivalent)

Worth it??

The plan is to have 10 5ft tubes for veg (6500K) and 10 for flower (2700K)

How many short high yield autoflowers could I hope for?

Thanks for any help!

If you are looking to upgrade, I suggest that you consider checking out Autocobs from www.cobshop.net. Great lights. Noiseless. Low electrical draw. Low heat throw. Small and easy to move around. I own 6 of the 3500K. They also carry "you finish" Autocobs.

I wouldnt upgrade them, but you can go with samsung or eb2 strips and get A LOT more light / watt. Autocobs are good 2 but you need a little more space, thats where strips shine is in small areas.
