I have a ballast, 12 sockets and 6 bulbs at 2' length. Anyone have any great ideas on a fixture? Part of me says nail it all to a sheet of plywood and part says go buy a fixture for something else and gut it out to suit my needs. I just need a little veg light here, nothing too fancy in terms of reflectors and what not.
sounds expensive ;)
you can get T5 indoor 6 bulb fixtures all ready to go at home depot like places for ~70-80.
No u cant. Not T5 HO you cant. I have looked plenty trust me. I may buy one of those cheap fixtures and simply install my own sockets and ballast or something. 6 bulb T5 HO's cost upwards of 300+. I paid 110 for 6 bulbs 2', 6 bulb ballast, and 12 sockets. Maybe I spend a little more for a fixture too but in the end I will spend less the half what they go for retail.
I tell you what....as I was poking around I did come across this place selling 8 bulb T5's ho for 209. That's a pretty killer deal considering it comes with a fixture and it will do 2 extra bulbs. Sunlight Supply 8 x 24 Watt New Wave T5 HO Fixture - 22" doesnt comes with bulbs and those can run another 5 to 8 each. So see...I did aight on my prices.
