Default Review of the Odyssea HQI DE 2x250 W+4xT5+6x2 LED fixture

The 2x250 fixture itself.

Just snapped some pics of the new light. Will post my comments few month later.
I wonder if anyone knows if these Odeysea ballasts look anything like IceCap HQI ballast looks inside?
HQI ballast

LED "ON"
honestly 6x2 LED's are way too much for night time and nothing for a day time when the rest of the lights are on. one LED on each side would be enough. I will disconnect 4 of them and keep as spares.



Fixture is pretty slick only 3"
