T-5 retro lights for sale

[Hooked4life]

I have 2 that are currently wired-up and running. These were used over frag tanks so the construction is pretty bare bones, but the components could be placed in an existing canopy.

1) is a 2 x 54 watt set-up-- includes end caps and stands, Workhorse 5 ballast, Sunlight Supply reflectors, plug and 2 bulbs. Retail new without bulbs for about $115 -- asking $90. You can have the bulbs if you pick it up, but I will not ship the bulbs.

2) is a 3 x 24 watt set-up -- includes end caps and stands, Workhorse 5 ballast, Sunlight Supply reflectors, plug and 3 bulbs. Retail new without bulbs for about $140 -- asking $110. I'll throw the bulbs in for local pick-up.

You can use these components for a variety of other set-ups. Go here to see # & wattage of T-5 bulbs the ballast will run -- http://www.fulham.com/

Are the reflectors the new or old style? Also, what bulbs are included and how old are they?

Thanks,

I didn't know Sunlight had changed their reflectors so I can't answer that questions. I'm throwing the bulbs in because you probably won't want to use them more than a couple of months-- hard to judge the age because they haven't been running continuously.

I think they changed the reflectors about a year or so ago. The old ones had staining and pitting issues. The new ones have fixed those problems. The old ones have (I think) 7 bends and the new ones have many more (20 something I think). Hopefully this will help identify which ones you have.

Thanks,
Kevin

the 24" are probably at least a year old. now that I look at them, the 24" may be Icecap. None of them have 20 bends--the 48" have a lip that folds out on them (I think that is Sunlight) and the others do not (Icecap?).

I'll look at the ones at PA when I work next Saturday.

Bulbs are Giesemann

24"
1 - aquablue +
1 - midday

1 - midday

the 48" ones I have are Icecap and the 24" are Sunlight Supply.

Icecap does have a new reflector out--the bends are so small they almost look rounded. None of the major online retailers seem to be promoting them.
