Odyssea lights?????

[isellcars]

I have an Odyssea light set up that is a t5ho 3 bulb with 4 twin LEDs. The LEDs have already blown after 3 weeks and I don't believe I am getting the amount of light I am supposed to be getting from the T5. Any suggestions? And I don't want to buy an entire new set up....

Ive heard the stock bulbs are crap

you'd rather keep the crappy malfunctioning unit than return it for a replacement or refund and buy a new light?
why?
LED's have a lifespan of 100,000 hours. if you blew them in 3 weeks you need to run your lights a lot less. that or you have a crappy malfunctioning unit.
as far as the T5's, there are multiple kinds. if you didn't buy the HO's then they won't be as bright since the standard T5's are about half the watts of the high outputs.

Look at all the money you saved by buying a crappy light fixture. You get what you pay for.

only up to a point. I've been quite happy with my "cheap" catalina light. a tek fixture would have been a bit brighter, but I wouldn't be as happy paying 3X more for that little more brightness.
