What's your budget? That might help people recommend a fixture. Are you opposed to putting something together yourself? You could get better components that way

I am not very "electrically inclined" if you know what I mean.

Is putting your own light together very difficult.... or safe for the rookie?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

with T5's it's really quite easy. I put together a 48" T5/Mh combo (which is still for sale incidently) myself and it really is not that difficult.
