    LOL!!! I CAN'T!!! Bulbs haven't arrived yet.....Although....He did include a bulb in the box. And I did pick up two Superactinics as backups.....Maybe I'll just clean it up a bit and put in those three. Lord knows it will be better than the six PCs I have going now.....

    Just tested the ballasts and they are both functional. Right now, I have two Superactinics working. Going to install the splash shield (it came cracked---but not too badly). The shipment was insured, so I can get another. So far so good......

    OK, here are two photos. I have two Superactinics in working order. The colors are much more purple than the PCs I just got rid of. The coral colors (which do not leap out in these pics) are awesome. They glow. For now, I am running open top. Later, I will mod my canopy to accept the fixture.
