I also ordered the 24" T5HO and am very satisfied. The bulbs aren't great but they will do for most anything other then sps and can be upgraded at replacement time. I had a problem with one of the bulb clips being broken and they were very responsive. I spent some time talking to Simon, one of the owners, on the phone and he seemed like decent a guy trying to offer a good product at a good price. He told me they are always looking at ways to upgrade the lights and make a better product.

Anyways, don't expect Current or Tek Light quality but they are pretty good value for all but the most demanding lighting needs.

I've ordered a 250MH fixture and should be arriving today.
Will see how it turns out.

How do they ship? I'm just wondering what the duty and fees might be like.

seems like a lot of positive feedback on this company.
I like their style, I'm sure you can always do better for ballasts and bulbs, but its a nice, well made fixture from what I have seen.

Asked them to ship via USPS and declare as gift. It arrived this morning and no tax on it since it's declared as $30 in value.

Might not want to post illegal activities in open forums. Just a thought.

LOL, I have a 250W 14k for sale in Buy&Sell

Save the shipping AND exchange if you're in Calgary!

I personally like the 2 I'm keeping, if anyone is really interested they can drop by and have a look at them on my tank.

Cool.

For people who bought them.......... give a review after you've used them for a while.

Cheers,
Vic
