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...

Sorry that the site is down. There is a problem with our hosting service over the past couple of days. If anyone is interested in seeing pictures of the fixture, please email me at kevqtmn@msn.com Sorry for the inconvenience.

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...

Some recent pictures from the tank using the SKR Aqualux T5HO fixture. Also, a link to the new sleek design of the SKR-Aqualux 2 fixture. http://www.skronline.com/skraqualuxhome.htm Moved to the Show Off/ Photography forum by Timbo2

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.

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...

What are you looking for exactly? I run a company that manufactures light fixtures and retrofit kits. If you are looking for anything in particular, let me know. We sell direrct and that usually means savings....I can not promise anything...but let me know if I can help. by the way, go to...

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...

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...

Lori, actually the link the the fixture you have is www.skronline.com - then click the SKR Aqualux logo. Thanks

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...

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

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...

How do I add my picture to this board and to the gallery...I have been trying but am having trouble...any advice is good. Thanks

When considering the Watts per Gallon theory, I have to ask....do you base it on the lumen rating or watt rating? If it is based solely on watts, I think it is virtually irrelevant. What should be taken into consideration is the amount of lumens being pushed from the lamps and into the tank...

what about T5 Electronic Ballast with T5HO lamps These lamps run kind of warm, but with some fans I think it could be a good fixture. But why not consider a fixture or retrofit kit with a ballast running (2) T5HO at 54Watts a piece. Do they make these lamps in the proper Kelvin you need...

No way! Can you please get me the part number for the ballast you say is $40-$70 at Grainger. I am in the lighting business and we sell electronic ballasts all the time at a fraction of that price. I am not sure what you mean by "true elec." ballast. I understand the difference between...

does anybody know where I can download the specs of "aquarium" electronic ballasts? I am curious as to whether there is any difference between an Osram Quicktronic ballast and an ICECAP or any other fluorescent aqua electronic I am also looking for the names of lamp manufacturers, especially...

It seems as if the electronic ballast are rated the same (whether for a traditional fluorescent fixture or one for aquarium). Does anyone know if there is a major difference or any difference between an ICE CAP ballast and a Electronic ballast you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes?

A T5 HO 54 Watt has great color rendering (higher CRI than any Metal Halide) and very little color shift. I am just not sure the availability of a specialty lamp - meaning a kelvin temp over 4100. By the way, you do not want to overdrive your lamps. You cut down the lamp life cycle...

Guys thanks for your responses, I really appreciate the feedback! If you r opinions echo that of your fellow hobbyists I think I may really be avle to help all of you. I agree that a business can be profitable without being greedy and making hobbyists go broke trying to do something they love...

Interested in getting into Aquarium Lighting Hey, I am glad I found this web site. Maybe you guys can help me and in return I can help you. My name is Kevin Alvarez. I am with SKR Energy Systems, Inc. My company manufactures energy efficient lighting fixtures and retrofit kits for the...
