With the decrease in the number of manufacturers of hobby related metal halides, I thought it would be a good place to have a central source for this equipment. Please add your sources and I will add to this top post so they’re all together.

This thread is for long terms sources for metal halide related items, not just what a retailer is selling that they have left over.

Here’s the summary.

Reef Brite is one of the souces for bulbs, ballasts and fixtures.
They also have a new T5 fixture and a new magnetic metal halide ballast.

The other available source of halide gear is Giesemann, but as far as I know they don't have a representative in US anymore. Used to be Coral Vue/BrS. We can still special order an US version of Giesemann Spectra (SE fixture) directly from Germany though.

Awesome, thank you
 
I ordered Spectra from Giesemann and its top quality MH + T5 ficture.
They have also LED pendant lights but I hate them as dirty Diesel tractors :)

My personal opinion no offence but design of this Reef Brite lights is awfull
and ugly vs. Giesemann choice. Just check a little products. But tastes is... :)
