    I have one and I like it. Bulbs aren't fantastic but you get what you pay for. Replace bulbs, and MH ballasts eventually.

    A good rule of thumb in lighting is you get what you pay for.ime
    Kind of like why buy a gorski when you can have a km 77.

    I've had my Odyssea 48" Mh fixture for quite some time now. Absolutely no complaints but like lunatik said, there are a lot of topics about Odyssea lights. check them out.

    They are SLOWLY improving their lights. There new T5s are turning out pretty decent. They have a new pro fixture with built-in digital timer, single reflectors and water proof endcaps. Looks like a solid unit.
