    Lighting Manufacturer - Out of Business Sale

    I used to have a lighting manufacturing company which I shut down last December. I still have quite a bit of inventory left that I would like to sell and get out of my house. The wife has lost patience with seeing it in the living room. Among the components and products I have in stock are the...

    T5 HO Fixture - need to sell

    Tim, The hood was designed for a specific customer. However, the "guts" or the insides of the fixture have not been finished. The only part complete with this fixture so far is the body. It is designed in such a way so that we can put in a bracketing system to either accomodate 4 lamps or 6...

    T5 HO Fixture - need to sell

    I guess that depends on whether or not you want it as 4 lamp or 6 lamp and whether or not you want the LED feature.

    T5 HO Fixture - need to sell

    Hey, my name is Kevin Alvarez. My company, SKR Energy Systems, Inc. has designed a couple of T5HO fixtures. The first fixture we designed is performing very well but we wanted to make the hood much sleeker while maintaining the photometrics of the initial fixture. We have designed a...

    t5 or halides?

    I agree with you on one hand FishFreek That is true from a lamp to lamp standpoint, but I am not sure I agree with it from a lumanaire to lumunaire standpoint. Are you saying all MH fixtures will produce more light than any fluorescent? I am not sure I would agree with that either. Either...

    t5 or halides?

    First of all, do you have T5 or T5HO. There is a huge difference. In terms of the ripple effect, I believe there is research being done showing the same effect is created when you are using a well designed specular reflector behind the T5HO lamp. Timbo, I am curious about the UV of MH being...

    u wanted t-5 pic

    FF, the wattage of each lamp is 54W...however, wattage is not what is important - lumens (or light output is). The fixture Lori bought from us has a fixture efficiency of 101.3%. To give you give an idea in terms of lumen efficiency, energy efficiency, and overall light output, here is a...

    u wanted t-5 pic

    Lori, I am so glad you like the fixture. 6 Lamps may be a little too bright, but at least you have versatility and flexibility to play with. I can not wait to see the LED moonlight pictures. Kevin

    New aquarium in the works, can I get some opinions?

    Have you considered going with a T5HO fixture. Perhaps a 4 Lamp T5HO fixture will suit you well? If I were you, I would at least look into it. We just designed and built a custom 6 lamp T5HO fixture with built in LED Moonlights. I think it turned out well. If you are interested, let me know...
