what is RETROFIT KIT? wht's the differences between RETROFIT KIT and compact flurocent light?
 
compact fluorescent is a type of bulb.

a retrofit kit is a set of lights that generally does not include a housing. you can get incandescent, NO fluorescent, VHO fluorescent, compact fluorescent, or metal halide bulbs in a retrofit kit. depending on the actual kit, it may include the wiring, endcaps, bulbs, reflectors, switches, and balasts.

Keep in mind you have to have a pretty good understanding of electrical wiring in order to build these systems properly. On average you can save anywhere from 10%-30% by DIY over buying a complete hood setup. Most outfit a canopy or custom build a canopy for housing the kits. hellolights.com is fairly competitive and has great customer service if you are interested.
