The Hagen T5HO are one of the better things they have produced. They do run hot though, for your consideration. As far as linear or electronic, there is no Better one, it's just how you apply the system to your tank.
 
i was wondering if the hagen lights were good because the pet shop i go to is selling the lights for under $200
 
Hagen has cut out the middleman as a supplier and now sells direct to stores. This helps reduce the cost. In addition, Hagen frequently offers deals to stores who purchase large skids of dry goods. As a manager of a lfs, I know what they cost us and under $200 retail for the t5ho is to be expected. However, these fixtures do not come with bulbs.
 
Around here the dual 48 fixtures run a hair over 100. These fixtures are great, and they are what I run on most of my tanks now. Very well made for the money put forth.
