If box says T5 and bought them as T5, should be usedw/ T5 bulbs not T8 bulbs. If memory serves T8 and T12 can be used on same strip but not T5 w/ T8.

check to make sure it is the same looking fixture as the one on the box... and check the manual for same serial number or name to match them... it's possible it was used and brought back or mixed up somewhere... worse come to worse take it back to the LFS to ask... and if its not what you wanted return it...
