    If you can afford the Sunlight Supply Tek fixture go with that and get good bulbs like ATI/UVL/Giesemann.
    Also, the slimpaq bulbs and Current USA fixtures themselves do put out significantly less light than a higher quality bulb/fixture.

    I don't have a canopy so DIY really isn't an option.
    i will proboly go with Tek but I didnt want to spend that much unless it was just a LOT better than the other fixtures.
