Hanging kit only

 

[franciscosalazar]

Well, the wifey isn't thrilled about hanging this beast over my biocube...
We'll see if I can locate the wood beams in the ceiling...

Had to build a free standing frame to hang the light.
This would be way overkill if all 8 bulbs were on.
The Blue LEDs are insanely bright.
Currently only using 4 bulbs.
This picture was from my DLink.

Are you seeing a noticeable difference with the LEDs on, or do the t5's drown them out? I ordered a few fixtures

 

[franciscosalazar]

Bill, the LEDs really pop with 6 bulbs on, I haven't purchased the last 2 yet, let me know when you get more in.

 

[tater]

Awesome can't wait to get them. I believe the bulbs should get here on Thursday, I'll double check and let you know

 

[tater]

That's really up to you depending on the color you like. Bulb wise, ATI and Giesemann are going to be the favorite of most.

The wiring harness is interesting. I looked at these fixtures over a month ago and didn't buy because they appeared to only have 1 power lead for all the lights meaning all on or all off.

There are switches on the fixture to operate 2 bulbs per switch.
