Need a Light Fixture for my 55

[fritz]

Anyhow have a Light Fixture for my 55? I keep zoos and mushrooms, no SPS or LPS so I don't need anything too crazy. Right now I'm using a 2x 55watt All Glass Strip Light over glass. It's almost time to change the bulbs so I figured if I'm spending the money I might as well get something better. I hear MH is cheaper in the long run but I'm on a budget

Please let me know if anyone has anything.

Thanks,

Fred

Welcome to MR.

think about my orbit man. it's a good price.

i agree I've just seen some on here for less and (I'm kicking myself) I almost bought one on craigslist 6 months ago for $100. If nothing comes up for less then your offer I'll buy it.

just go MH, you wont regret it, you actually lose more $$$ by playin it cheap and having to get it later on.

I and I bet a few others could agree, I wish I wouldve just gone MH and VHO from the start

i understand. but the difference is you getting something in Mint condition and something that's breaking.

thanks but the reflectors in that kit are 36" long each aren't they? Plus I currently have an AGA 48" dual 55watt PC. I don't know if I can retro that to be anything really usefull. I fell like if I'm going to go the DIY Retro route I should go with the dual icecap VHOs but then that's pricey.

nsr250NYC sold his Orbit I guess you snooze you loose right?

Anyways, Bump!
