Default Very Nice affordable metal hallides

Hey everyone. I recently purchased 150 watt double ended HQI metal hallide setups from a supplier in china. I have been running them for almost 2 weeks. I have suspended these lights 5 inches above my tank and they barely affect water temperature. (I was completely suprised too) Basically all you have to do is do the wiring(cable from light to ballast and ballast to wall). The ballasts are the silent electric ballasts and do not heat up at all. The light is very bright for a 150 watt. Just thought I would let everyone know about this since I think it is an amazing deal compared to what everyone else charges. They are all cULus safety rated which makes them good for insurance purposes in canada from what I have read. Anyway here is a link to the picture of the light system- If you want to see a picture of the lights in action over my tank I can email it to you.

Almost forgot an entire setup is 80 dollars can be seen in below link.
Shipping for two systems cost me 49 dollars cdn and I recieved my lights at my door exactly 7 days after they were posted in China.

Also this is a pretty trust worthy seller. One of the bulbs were broken when they arrived in canada since customs opened it and didnt handle it very carefully- anyway i did not purchase insurance from him and sent me a brand new bulb covering both the bulb and shipping cost himself.

Needless to say I posted this to let everyone know about my experience in no way am I trying to sell this stuff. Thought I would mention this
