Higher Thinking Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Hey club! I'm wanting to buy a 4 bulb T5 48" fixture. It doesn't have to be in great shape because I want to tear it apart and add 4 bulbs into my canopy structure. So really what I need is four sets of end caps, a quad ballast, and a reflector. If you have newer bulbs that would be great too. Please let me know what you have. Thanks!

Blackice Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a reto kit from brs there only a couple hundred bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'll have to look in the garage but I think I have a Workhorse 7 ballast laying around that could power 4x 4' t5s. I'd let it go cheap or for a frag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a reto kit from brs there only a couple hundred bucks.All the retro fit kits I find are around 130.... and that's just for two bulbs. I'm not trying to drop almost four hundred just to add 4 bulbs. Certainly hoping for something cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markvo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I would run 2 Workhorse 7s for 4 bulbs. The ballast will power them , but I have gone through a few of the ballasts after running 2 110W VHO bulbs on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher Thinking Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Found it, PM me if you want it. Thanks Blue Z. Cerk ended up have a couple ballasts and end caps that he is giving me. I'll just take that set from him. Thank you very much for the offer though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
