Industrial lighting?

[phi delt reefer]

he is open to offers now that reread his post - so maybe offer him $60 for 2 and see what he says?

Also the ballasts are wired for 347v but are 120v capable so make sure you make that change before plugging that bad boy in.

As for the reflectors - try em out as is and see how they are. There are diy reflector plans somewhere in a reef forum - if i find em i will pm you the link.

a point was made that these are 400w lights which are going to eat a ton of electricity so that would be my primary concern if budget is an issue.

I wouldn't call the reflectors junk. They are specifically designed to give an even light distribution from a pendant bulb, however, at a distance (they're meant for high bay applications after all). High bay reflectors are about efficiency AND economy. Aquariums really weren't in mind for their design. Because you will have them closer that their intended application there might be some bright spots but don't see any reason why, for a cheap set up, they wouldn't work.
