Tombstones are what is commonly referred to as endcaps ... they are called tombstones because that is what they look like ... as reefers we gladly pay huge bucks for " waterproof " endcaps but they dont work well with VHO as VHO bulbs generate more heat than NO bulbs and end up burning up the endcap ( happened to me on icecap waterproof endcaps ) ... we dont really " need " waterproof endcaps anyway as the lights should not come in contact with water and if they do your GFCI circuit would trip anyway ( you should have a GFCI plug or breaker on your tank stuff )

Cheers
