Anyone running this light fixture?? Question for you.

Can I run only 1 bulb at a time in this? The reason is because right now I don't need 2 t5ho bulbs on. However, I may decide to go high light in the future. Sure, 4 t12 bulbs is less $ if I get some cheap shop light but it would be huge.

Thanks

From the looks of it, no.

The advanced fixtures have individual controls, but they are all double the watts...

Thought I had found a low cost solution to my lighting needs. :/ I surely don't need a 4 bulb fixture...

I have that light and I am only running one light at a time.

I f I had to nitpick I would say the lexan bulb guard could fit better, and I had to cut the brackets for it to fit correctly with glass lids. other then that no complaints.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to pull the trigger on purchasing it, but I'm concerned about the company's customer service. I've sent 2 emails and haven't received an answer yet. Their live support is also down.

I assume you could just take one bulb out anyway...

 

[FishKeepingNoob]

That's all I wanted to do. Just take one out and go with it. I don't need a fancy switch.

I have that light fixture, although I have not tried running it with just one bulb, I'll try it today if I can remember to do so when I get home.
