  • Via volt grow light?

    http://homedepot.digby.com/homedepot/product/detail.do?itemId=203288964&categoryId=&path=

    Anyone use this or heard anything before? I was looking for t5 tombstones and I saw this online. Maybe change the reflectors?

    i have looked into buying grolights before, the reflectors are often not so great and cant easily be upgraded. i have seen a couple that had individual german polished reflectors for maybe only 50 bucks more plus come with 6500k lamps. there were some like that on ebay no long ago but i think i would want to go pull one out of a box to check it out before i buy.

      Yeah you can try it but I would pay the little extra and be sure and get a Tek or something else. You want it to have individual reflectors and it doesnt say whether it does or not and based on what they are selling it for I am going to assume that it doesnt or that they arent great.

        yea I was trying to look around online and see if they do have individuals but, from pictures ive seen it doesn't so i'm going against it. I just figured it might be a cheap alternative for my future set up.

          All I can say is do it right. If you want cheap looking for a used equipment but dont go cheap on a new equipment you are only asking to spend more money later replacing it because it doesnt work or it craps out on you.
