    came across these today

    look pretty good for $100.00 are they any good?

    looking at this one:

    2Ft/4Bulbs fixture

    so only $110.00 with shipping for a 4 bulb t5ho fixture sounds to good to be true.

    let me know what you guys think

    Ive been working alot and will be in Michigan to (moms paying me to help out my relatives) so I could buy this by the end of summer. if not sooner

    I live in michigan and alot of stores sell this brand and have them in stock. i think a 48" is about 89 bucks. my buddy bought a 36 inch for about 50-60. light output seems good. they come with crappy bulbs but if you switch the bulbs they seem to get the job done

    ya what area are you going to be in when u buy it? i can pm u a couple places i know that have them if there close. i forgot those prices are 2 bulb so it may be right around the price on the website. but you wont have shipping costs

    dont know if they carry them or not. about a hour from there is where i live and the stores around here have them. troy/madison heights/ royal oak area. if you switch the bulbs they will be better than your pc's for sure.
