After much debate, and contemplating, I finally pulled the trigger on a new light. I was going to go LED's but after running them on wife's frag tank, I am sticking with Halides for my main lighting, and supplement with a 48" TrueLumen Pro Actinic Strip I already have for the color pop in the evenings when most of us view our tanks. This light doesn't have much review, but the company does, and seems ok, especially the "assembled in the USA" part. I will use this tread as a start to my review to help others in deciding.
I went with a 48" dual 250w 20K Hamilton Bulb fixture.
Details:
Maximum reflectivity - Multi faceted mirror finish parabolic reflector increases light intensity and light output leading to higher PAR value
Maximum cooling - dual ball bearing fan design keeps air circulating around lamps providing proper maximum ventilation and increasing bulb life
High Performance Ballasts - Individual, remote detachable Hamilton MH magnetic ballasts with an option for Electronic MH ballasts
Energy Efficient T5 HO Ballasts - Electronic T5 Ballasts
Nocturnal viewing - 6 Blue LED lights per each MH bulb
Hamilton Tech Metal Halide bulbs included - 10K, 14k or 20k
Hamilton Tech T5 High Output bulbs included - Four Super Actinic Blue 420 nm
Eye hooks for suspension can be installed upon request at no charge
