sfiligoi metal halide socket problem

mbaychuk · 10/09/2009, 06:13 PM

I have a 6 foot sfiligoi light with 8 t-5s and 3-400w metal halides single end. When I bought the replacement bulbs from premium aquatics (Ushio MH) I shortly realized and was told the sockets for the MH are 1mm smaller then the standard MH bulbs used, so the Ushios won't fit. Jeremy from premium aquatics is trying to find out from the company if I can get the replacement sockets, but in the intrum does any one know where to get them. Thanks

I thought it was weird also but the Ushios were just slightly to tight and when I called Jeremy at Premium aquatics he said the socket I have is 1mm smaller. He sent sfiligoi a email but he did not get a response yet, I was hoping some one else had the same issue and had a solution. Maybe Ill ask Jeremy if other bulbs would fit, but when I spoke to him last week he made it seem that the problem was the Sfiligoi sockets so go figure.
