I'm slowly upgrading my first attempt at a planted tank as I go along, getting into them after a pretty long time growing plants in hydroponic nft sytems, next on the list is lighting.
The tank is an Aqua one Horizon 60l jobby, and comes equipped with a 24w power compact type bulb so could do with an upgrade even though the plants all seem to be growing well so far.
Cant make up my mind though, got a choice between el cheapo luminaire unit with 4 x 24w t5's in it, here:

Or I can get a unit from eqj trading, who I've got one off before (an excellent 100cm Unit), here:

The eqj units are really well put together, and have a full spares back up, but are twice the price of the cheapo unit, and have one less T5 tube.
From past experience with hydroponics and reef tanks, I've never heard of TOO MUCH light what does anyone else think??.....hmmmm decisions, decisions
