Extra wiring, but it was so simple. The Icecap ballast and the Lumenarc ballast both had the same 3 wire's, colored the same too. After that, it was as simple as attaching the power wires on the ballast to the grounded replacement plug I got at HD...all those wire's color's matched the ballast also....really you can't mess it up if you try...and thats saying a lot from me!! lol

Sunny,
Look here, search Diamond Grow Light Hood. I bought 3 for less than the price of 1 new. They come with the mounting bracket, only issue is the power cord is cut. Select your reflectors so they all end about the same time, they will ship multiples in one box. Its from the cops so you won't get ripped off.
All of mine have very minor scratches but well worth the savings. Drug dealers are worth something afterall. Uhhh, if you do grow your own don't buy here.
I saw a post from you a while back about this site and I've been checking it somewhat regularly and have never seen a LA III listed or pictured. Most of the discriptions reference a white reflector that is like 23" I am just curious if you purchased one of these and got LA IIIs, or were yours actually listed as LA IIIs.
Sorry for the hi-jack :sad2: :sad2:

Well I hooked up the lumenarcs yesterday night.
I really like the spread and intensity, I'm glad I purchased two instead of three. Three would have never fit.
Two Lumenarcs easily cover the space the three ROIII were covering.
I definitely need to get some Actinic Bulbs today, I'm not used to the XM10K's. Hopefully as they burn in they will become whiter.
Ill post some before and after pics this afternoon.

The mini lumernics give incredibly nice spread throughout the tank.

Ok here are a few pics, please keep in mind that the bulbs are only a couple of days old and still need more time to burn in. One of the bulbs was very dim and yellow until I adjusted the nipple position. Will most likely replace that bulb. Seems as though the bulbs are getting whiter daily, hopefully it continues.
