DIY Hood Lighting Empty

Hey guys...been away for awhile!

In the meantime, my DIY hood is mostly finished and now I've got a quick question regarding the heat associated with lighting...

I was hoping to get a flush-mountable T8 fixture, but DBF accidentally picked up a T12 non-flush mountable one instead. Didn't notice this had happened until just today, and I can't help but wonder how much hotter T12s get as compared to T8s. Anyone have experience with this? Is a receipt-hunt in order?

nah the heat is the same in my opinion.i sometimes run one t12 and one t8 in the same dual fixture and i am pretty sure the out put is close.although i havent broken out the infared thermometer yet.
