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.
Prodaytrader Reviewed by Prodaytrader 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
