FourOaks, there's a temperature tradeoff between LED and fluorescent that I read about. LED's are less sensitive to cold temperatures and work better in cold than the T8's. But LED's are sensitive to heat on the flip side. This means if you run them in a greenhouse that gets very hot, you could shorten their lifespan.

I was thinking of putting some LED's out in my greenhouse as well, because they're tolerant of cold and also damp environments. But can't take the heat, apparently.
