    Yeah, jsust look at the ulbs on the fixture they want to sell you. If it bends over at all, and is not linear across the whole bulb, then it is not t5ho. If it looks like a PC, it is a PC.
    Also, some very cheap t5's are not standard sizes. I have a 3 foot strip t5 that is longer than the 39w standard t5ho bulbs, so i couldn't easily replace the bulb if/ when it goes out.
