LF 48" T5 HO Lighting System

Area for the light is tight so dimensions of the unit can't be larger than 48" long x 8 inches wide x 3 inches tall. Please let me know what you have for sale and price. Ideally a four bulb T5 setup should fit. Excellent condition, no junk please. I need something ASAP.

Coincidentally, I have a fixture that I was just about to advertise. Shipping might be a problem though.

Your light being an 8 bulb fixture probably won't work for me. I only have an 8" width to work. Your fixture must be at least 19" wide or wider, no? I think I will be maxed out for space with a four bulb set-up.

Ya, probably won't fit. Oh well, good luck

I have been looking for the same thing with no luck (on a tight budget ATM) so I ended up getting 4 of theses(Odyssea brand) from E-Bay:

for the price they will do fine for now, I will be changing out a few of the bulbs though.

Ya Grizz I have been looking at these today. I think this is what I will get. There actually a store in Calgary selling them between 230.00 and 240.00. They have had good success with them they tell me. Change out the bulbs and I think you have a decent T5 set-up for a small area. Any ideas on what bulbs to buy? What did you end up paying delivered with duty?

Just ordered them the other day but I got all four (one case = 4 light's) for $480 usd including shipping. Not sure what the duty will be but I am fairly sure it will be under $50. They come with Actinics and 12,000K so I will probably go with 2 actinic's, 2 12,000K, 2 15,000K and 2 20,000K per side of my 8' tank. Brand wise more them likly KZ's.
