kenf729 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi, well I'm finally getting around to converting my odessea light, wanting to take out the PC's and replace with T5's, my light is 48", anyone have any leads on where to get the end caps (4)... thanks Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Saltwater fantaseas is where I bought mine. I did the same thing and took out my 4-65 watt PC and replaced them with 2-54 T5 bulbs, less wattage and brighter/better output. My fixture was shallow so I was not able to add the watertight caps-no need for my situation. Whole task took like 30 minutes for both sides-one of the best things I have done to my fixture short of switching to Phoenix 14K bulbs I dont think they make a 65 watt T5, you will go with 54 watt 48" bulbs unless you go withthe high output but I dont know that the odessey ballasts will fire those. One 54 watt bulb is brighter than the 2-65 watt PC bulbs-PC must stand for Piece-o-Crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenf729 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'll make a trip to Saltwater fantaseas, but just to make sure if I get the 54W you say there 48" my light from outside end to end is right at 47 inches, so I think I need 45" lights. Right? one of my PC's is out, I would just as soon have t5's, more light,less power... Ken Edit: what lumens are you using daylight bulb?
