Review of the Odyssea HQI DE 2x250 W+4xT5+6x2 LED fixture
The 2x250 fixture itself.
http://www.aquatraders.com/36-Metal-...ht-p/54265.htm Just snapped some pics of the new light. Will post my comments few month later. I wonder if anyone knows if these Odeysea ballasts look anything like IceCap HQI ballast looks inside? HQI ballast thats how it looks from the outside. http://www.aquatraders.com/PhotoGall...&PhotoNumber=6  .  . Odyssea T5 Ballast  .  . T5 ballast connector  . T5 ballast fuse  . 6 Cords !  .  .  . LED "ON" honestly 6x2 LED's are way too much for night time and nothing for a day time when the rest of the lights are on. one LED on each side would be enough. I will disconnect 4 of them and keep as spares.  Fixture is pretty slick only 3" .  . DE reflector .  . LED units .  . T5's are protected by end caps and also an acrylic shield .  . getting to the bulbs is PITA but once you ve done it its ok.  . Last edited by RuGlu6; 07-10-2011 at 08:06 AM.

Quality looks like its gone up thats for sure. I find when you replace the crappy Odyssea bulbs their fixtures aren't that bad at all.

Hey RuGlu6, can you post a pic of your tank with all the lights on? I want to see what the stock lights look like in terms of coloration. Thanks

The interesting thing is that at first the color was looking too yellow at least to me. The bulbs are stock Odyssea 15K. However now after what about 3 weeks the color changed to a more crisp white, almost with the blue hint ! I was planning to buy 20K bulbs from Odyssea because i did not like their 15K color but they did not have any 250W bulbs in stock so i waited and now it looks like i may even keep these 15K Odyssea bulbs.
