Anyone ever heard of ODYSSEA lighting?
How well do the work they are reasonably priced.

Save your money & buy a better one, I had one & it did work but you get what you pay for. I have found many threads of people who have the ODYSSEA light set up & the ballast catch on fire!!!!! To me its not worth the chance & parts are a nighmare there is no number to phone the componay direct for replacment parts, you can get them but it take's forever.... I junked mine, when I set it up the fans were really noisy I had to take it apart & reinsulate the fans so they wouldn't make as much noise, & boy do they run hot, theres not enough air movment form the tiny fans to cool it, this is why I think they catch on fire.
After the lights been one for awhile you cant touch the top of it!!!!! Within 2weeks the white plug ends for the builbs turned brown from heat, thats why I junked it I cant trust it. I had the 4x65 watt model, o-yea the bulbs suck very poor light as well. As I said you get what you pay for....
This is the one I had http://www.aquatraders.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=13

You should look into HO T5 lighting. It trumps PC everywhich way.
