sounds expensive

you can get T5 indoor 6 bulb fixtures all ready to go at home depot like places for ~70-80.
copobo Reviewed by copobo on . DIY T5? 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. Rating: 5
