Lighting question T5 Mh

you could always retrofit your own setup. its seemingly cheaper that way. i mean i found T5-HO ballasts (Fulham Workhorse 5) for $20 that powers two T5-HO 54W bulbs. this is of course if you're planning on building your own canopy.

quick estimate of wanting 6 bulbs...
3 x fulham WH5's (54W x 2 output) = $60
6 x TEK 48" reflector = $120
12 x clips = $20
Total: = $200 for 324Watts of T5-HO lighting

You're going to wind up paying $288 for a 234Watt system. Food for thought...

 

good idea, but dont forget its a 36" and he'd need money for the bulbs, and materials for hood/canopy.

$200+ $25x6 (t5 bulbs) + 25 (hood materials) = $375.00
