my T12 crapped out on me, or at least the ballast did. i have been wanting to replace those, and it is just about time to buy a new bulb for the MH. i've got a little extra dough and i want to upgrade my lights for a few reasons.
1. i have to many wires running around for my taste.
2. my MH pendant has to be hung slightly oddly to fit under my canopy
3. i have to run two extention cords just to plug both sets of lights into the same powerstrip.

i want to get a 48" unit with both MH and some kind of actinic. i was hoping for T5's but the price is out of my budget. this 48" unit at 399 i feel is a good value.

thanks for listening....

Well good luck with it. I am not much of a coralife fan but never tried their lighting.

I've have good luck with them, and that is a helluva good price!

I have a coralife 48" unit. I like it very much. The actinics bulbs that came with mine were pretty cheap (Coralife bulbs are on the cheaper end of the spectrum, I think) and seemed to be drowned out by the MH bulbs. I recently replaced the actinic bulb with a different (costlier) brand, and it made a huge difference.

Looks kind of pricey for what it is.
