Although I've never use their retrofit T5 kits, my first light was a Hagen Glo T5HO dual fixture. Good quality build & from what I could see at the LFS, the retrofit kits were quality hardware. The Glo fixture's reflector is the only one I recall that seemed unaffected by salt spray, that is it was easy to clean & stayed shiny. Salt deposits were easy to wipe off without scratching the surface. My other reflectors, don't recall brand, all lost their shine once salt got on them, essentially useless as reflectors after that.

Thanks for the info Mike.

Was just looking at the specs, unfortunately the retro kits don't come with reflectors. But good to hear that the other components should be of good quality.

The reflectors is be getting from the lfs would be hamilton reflectors.
Sure hope they will be as good as the ones you had.
