That is exactly what I have. 48" T5 6500k fluorescents. The brand I use is Sunblasters with the reflector.
And I just use those cheap vivosun bulbs from amazon.... these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01731MM90/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_6exJDbGHB722K
Mine absolutely love the 6500k light color.
First, be sure to check the specs of your lights. They should be around 6000K (6500K is an ideal color temp) and draw ~30 Watts of power. Also aim for like 2000+ lumens. If your bulbs aren’t close to these specs then getting another light may not help much; you’d be better off just replacing them with something that meets these specs.
Here’s an Amazon listing for a 5-pack of bulbs that sounds really good

I am late in the game for grow lights. I have read just about every thread on grow lights and I just want to make sure that this setup will be okay.
I’m thinking of buying 4 of these (2 on each shelf) fixtures: Shop Fixture
And these T5 HO bulbs: Vivosun Bulbs
Would this work for my 2 metal shelves?
Or .... go with these and put 4 on each shelf? Barrina T5 LEDs
Oh do you mean like this?
