Anyone tried this lighting system?

[TMartinez]

Let me first off say I am not an online purchaser. I prefer to buy my products in a local store. HOWEVER I stumbled across this planted lighting system on Ebay and was curious to see if anyone has tried it. Seems very inexpensive, almost cheap enough to just try it out... Anyone have positive or negative comments?

This is a better option, for a few bucks more. By not buying online, you're missing out big time, and paying more than necessary

These are better for the money. You can chose the bulb color and color temp.

I have the dual 48" (108 watts) Odyssey T5 HO fixture. I know they are "budget" and not the best, but at the same time it was $60 shipped and it so much brighter than the $50 single bulb T8 fixture I had.

I have purchased a few of those lights in different lengths from that ebay seller. I myself prefer T5HO over any LED. You can supplement some LED's with T5 for low light condition. Plants can grow in all types of lighting. How well they grow will depend on the lighting you choose.

You already voided your own statement by saying some.

lolsaywut? How is it void? Somebody said plants can grow in all types of lighting, and he said that statement is false because some plants will melt right away. Makes perfect sense.

I guess. Didn't make sense to me, but not worth arguing over either. Both are blanket statements.
