Hey Guys and Girls,

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261459726102

Just quickly, before i hit "BUY", has anyone used these before and are they worth the money? Im planning to use one either side of my 250hps for an even spread of mixed spectrum light. I would like to run flouros as i like the lack of heat and the trichome production from them.

Cheers

Cheers mate, but ive been thinking if im going to add any more hid light i might as well get a 400w lec and be done with it.

For the same $100 and some change you can get an eight bulb durolux off amazon.

Their two bulb fixtures are cheap. Like $30.

I use durlolux lights.

No T5 is good. You're better off spending your money upgrading to a 400W HPS. T5 is obsolete and overpriced.

I have a couple of the HTG growbright versions of these I use for the mother tent, I think they work great.

Thanks mate.

Unfortunately a new clutch in my car and it and the bike needing insurance renewed means my disposable income is gone for a while... but once thats sorted i will sort something
