They don't include reflectors but they do include a cheap 6700k bulb. I modded one onto my coralife fixture with a Hagen GLO reflector. Added a Giesman bulb and it works to add some par. They are called SunBlasters and look just like the ones called SUN BLAZE shown here...http://www.prairiereefsupplies.ca/index.php?id=95

Hmmm...this might work. I do have a couple of Tek reflectors kicking around. What do you mean "daisy chain together"?

For anyone wanting to try sunblaster T5s, i have them, and they are GREAT. Even better, is, if you go to Better than nature (hydroponics store) you can get a 48" for 25.99 where as AJS is 49.99. unless he lowered them..

Chris,

Where is that store? Do you know if they have the proper reflector for the Sunblaster lights? I found the Sun Blaze reflectors but they don't come in 36" sizes which is what I need and cutting them doesn't look very appealing considering the butcher job I did to the GLO reflector...lol.

Better than nature is in the Blue Heights Center (Blue Heights is a strip mall with light blue trim on the buildings). It is on Highway 97 near the intersection of McCurdy and Highway 97 (Near the Brick and the Grand 10 Movie Theater). Not sure if they have the proper reflectors for these lights but they do carry T5's in 24 inch and 36 inch sizes.

Excellent thanks for the info.

By daisy chain them together, I mean they come with an link cable that allows you to plug the next fixture into the end of the previous one without having to connect to power as well.

If Chris has found a better location for them, that's great...not sure I know where the store he mentioned is though.
