Where to get 48" T5 reflectors?
 

I think I am going to make a T5 pendant for my 150g. No one sell's a 60" light, So I'll make one. 48" and 72" bulbs you say. Well, I am thinking of staggering them. The light intensity will lessen at the ends, but thats fine, atleast the pendant will be full length, and not look short. Thinking I am going to need 8 bulbs for a 24" wide tank? Maybe 10? Making the pendant, I can do. me and Aluminum get along pretty good. As well, I can coat it something special. I wanted to go MH, but allready, with 2 150DE and 1 250SE theres alot of heat. My house just isnt prepared to deal with all that, and I see buying a Mega air conditioner for the living room kinda like throwing good money after bad.

So, where can I get some of them Excellent German engineered reflectors? Or something of the like. :D

$29 ea, and I want 8? OUCH!!!!

Better than the $40 each I've seen them for in Calgary.

back when looking for retros for T5 seemed the top two were the SLR and TEK2.

If considering bending your own, this link shows the profiles.

I just finished (about a month ago) an 8 bulb 48" fixture. My tank is 48"x24" and I think 10 bulbs would've been too much of a squeeze as I also have a profilux simu-led strip tucked into the middle.

I chose the Ice-Cap reflectors, J&L carries those now as well and they are a step up from the sunlight supply.
