    oh yeah..with ati bulbs then this fixture will be fine.. i would somehow try and fine some reviews on google about them..

    u do get what you pay for...even tho its not oddysea brand, the price is still close to oddysea products...but i have used oddysea products in the past and had no complaints with that company like a lot of others have.

    A lot of the Ebay fixtures are Odyssea fixtures without the name. The reflectors aren't the greatest, but like was said, if you put better bulbs in it, it should give good results.

    +1 for topdogseller. I have thiet 4 x T5 odyssea knock off model & have no complaints other than the bulbs. Expect the whites to turn into yellows in about 3-4 months. They are a single reflector so not as great, but like said you get what you pay for. They are on the other hand about 1/4 the price of name brand and a good budget minded introduction fixture.

    The other thing you might want to consider when looking at this fixture, is that it only has one power cord, so if you have it on a timer you will have all bulbs fire at once instead of running two then all four for a dawn and dusk setup.
