This product was a replacement for my exsisting Eclipse 3 aquarium hood as the ballist had burned out in the original hood. I envisioned this product coming with all pieces... basically a complete replacement of the whole hood for $20 (the whole aquarium kit cost me $60 brand new). What I recieved for 33% of the cost of a whole new aquarium was the hood with no access door and no plastic light cover. Luckily I still had the old hood and was able to salvage these parts. If I had not, the door was an additonal $2.00 and the lamp cover was an additional $6.00. The qulaity of the product was good and the reseller (Big Al's) had a decent discount, so it was alot better than buying direct from Marineland. I just wanted to point out that this products details leads you to believe you are buying a complete hood, when in actuallity you are buying a mostly complete hood. To defend the reseller, Marineland does not note that additional parts may be necessary.
I am so glad I read other review prior to buying this lamp. I bought it because the original top would not light. The problem was not the bulb, probably the baffle (?) or whatever they call the part that makes the light start. So I ordered this and it's great EXCEPT you need to save a) top black cover part which hinges up and lets you get to the filter b) lightbulb none come with it c) lightbulb cover and screw. Also not included. Luckily I had the original still here at the house.
