    Never heard of it but that is nice. That is cool you can control the halides independently. One thing to look into is how many cords it has. I bought a fixture a few years ago with a lot of bells and whistles and it had cords coming out of both ends. I was livid. I wonder how loud the fans are? That is the type of thing I think about. But halides and T5s are a great combo. I had that on my 20 long. Looked great.

    $1,199.99 for it? Wow you could get an LED fixture for that much.

    Holy poop. That's a lot of money for a light fixture.
