Odyssea Lights? (also form ebay)

Anyone use Odyssea brand lights? I just found one on ebay that's 36" that holds 4 t5's and has led moonlights, 3 switches......for $109. Sounds like a good deal to me, but just wanted some input before I bid, Thanks!!

Most, if not all people that buy them have problems with them and either end up getting a new fixture, or they gut all of the original internal workings like the ballasts, wires, and reflectors, an they replace them with retro-fit kits. They are just made cheaply and aren't worth the time or money. Not to mention, the bulbs aren't standard size, so you have to order new bulbs from Odyssea. Better to just go with Current USA, TEK, or another trusted brand.

There are also reports of Odysseas overheating & catching fire .... not a good choice.

and ill add...

if you're getting them from one of the sellers on there, i noticed they only have a 7 day warranty... make sure you read the fine print on anything you buy from ebay

Save your money. Worthless junk IMO (and I bought one).
