I just got back from buying my new lights. I just picked up a total of 3 24" 2x65watt power compact fixtures from a used office supply store. They came out of a newly renovated medical examination room. I will need to change the bulbs, but check out this price. $12 each!!!!! I rewired them in 5 minutes and they work great and punch down a lot of light with the polished aluminunm reflectors. I have one on my 20 gallon and it was as simple as removing the stock light from the stock canopy and sitting the new one on. It was a perfect fit. Yup, I'm a happy camper right now.

Wow...great find! I wonder if we have a place like that here on the mainland. I could always use a good pc light for something.

I found them at a place called Fixture City, but no I bought every one. Sorry :redface: I will put them all to good use though. (and I finally figured out how to add a picture see above)
