Hey gsp check with denis cause when we were there he mentioned he had 2 brand new lumenbright or lumenmax pendants....

Yup,
I got 2 Lumen Bright 3 reflectors and one Lumenarc III
I paid $147 (with taxes) for each of the LB3s, so I could let then go for $110 each.
The LA3 I got from J&L, it was about same (can't find the receipt at the moment).
Update: I paid $179 for the LA3, will let it go for $150.
I'm not gonna take big loss on these as they're brand new still in box.
I also got dual PFO 400W HQI ballast.
Cheers.

I suggest you look into the Lumen Bright pendants.

Here is a great thread, split 3 times, check out the last 10-15 pages.

I'm waiting for mine from THE REEF SHOPPE, a sponser out of Loydminster

I think the black finished pendants are about 150 each

If your going to mount a Lumenbright in a canopy, it better be a tall canopy they recommend something like 16" inches from the water., but they are are getting good reviews

I'd also check into the Lumenmax Elite, another good one and may be more suited to shorter canopies.

Yeah you know I was just looking at that. They are already quite "tall" too. I don't think they are even going to fit my canopy

I think the Lumenarc mini's are the only ones that will.

Denis I PM'd you about the LB3's but I have to figure out if they would even fit.

Anyone have any other ideas? What is a good low profile reflector?

pfo pendants, I was sold when I saw Denis's and those will definately be the next lights I put on. The clarity of the reflector, glass cover and sleek package make this a really affordable unit. Oh and the spread and intensity is great aswell.
