I have the 48" version of these lights and they are great. T5 lights (5/8" in diameter) produce an amazing amount of lumens for their wattage (over T8 or T12). I like that you can control the full daylight lamps, the blue actinic lamps, the moonlights and the fan individually. The only downside to this light system is that the four T5 lights do not have individual parabolic reflectors like the Tek lights. But I still think these lights get 5 stars due to their price. If you need more light output (maybe you're setting up a reef aquarium), then go with the Tek system. I'm doing fish only and I took out two of the four bulbs because it was so bright.These T5 high output (HO) bulbs also contain alot less mercury than other flourescent bulbs.
Rated low because of the fam and the Leg that cracked and is now duct taped.

I had this unit for about a year and a half before one of the ballasts went bad. Contacted the manufacturer and was told the ballast was discontinued. They gave me a link to a replacement so I ordered it and when it arrived it was a totally different size with a different wiring configuration. So now I'm out 200 plus the 40 dollar ballast. I contacted them again after this and was brushed off. Terrible product and equally terrible customer support!!!!!Read Best Reviews of Current Usa ACU01121 Nova Extreme 4-Lamp T5HO Fixture with 2 Fans, 36-Inch Here
