only real problem seems to be the reliability of all juwel lighting units. you can use any t5 tube in these, err i think. so no need to be restricted to the juwel item.

you can only use Juwel lights because they made all their lights and units specific sizes

humm indeed. though i see comments on independents doing replacements, i have found none. if you can go for the t8 system, no problem with replacement lights with those. and go for an arcadia t5 system later. shouldn't have any problem selling the juwel items, as they go wrong so often, there are often people looking.
i have never used the juwel tubes, my old 180 had arcadia tubes and they were fine.

No idea how good the Juwel t5 bulbs are I'm afraid. Being t5's though I assume they'd be ok. jimbooo has his Juwel with the t5s and his take looks great. I'd give them a go
