hi well yesterday i bought 2 36inch t5 dual light fixture with 6 built in leds in each for $80 and it has swithes to control each bulb but my problem was that they did not have a brand name on it but it has 1 100,00 k daylight and 1 anctic bulbs in each well i was on ebay and i found which kind of lights i have and it turns out i have the solarmax 36" t5ho 2x39 watt w/led ( http://cgi.ebay.com/Solarmax-36-T5H...922?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25609f55fa )

and i kind of just got a sad face , when i purchased them i thought they were ati but i misunderstood the guy and he sad pti which was just the bulb brand so i thought i got a top of the line light fixture but i now realize i have a cheap brand and i wanted to know if this light fixture is a good brand

has there been problems with these lights and or are these lights good please tell me if there a good buy , or should i sell them and get the fish need it , but an i love the leds on this thing sorry for the long post i was sortof venting and asking a question thanks
 
help are they good so i can get my money back
 
ima return it since i got no responses and i dont want a crappy fixture
 
does anybody own this fixture
 
I have 2 and I love them!

They look great on a tank, run cool and the LEDs are cool. Mine have no trouble growing plants either.
 
what type of bulbs are u running
 
I'm running the ones it came with, so 10k and the actinic. The 80 gallon just has a few vals and my 40 breeder is too shallow for 2 T5NO bulbs.
 
T5 No means normal out put T5 bulbs, T5HO is seen as well which mean high output T5 bulbs.
 
so i can get the ho bulbs
