DIY t5 or ATI?

Asbury030 · 07/17/2016, 09:04 AM

So, I'm trying to decide on what I wanna do. I can Get the ATI 48" 6x54 dimmable w/bulbs for $770 + tax OR I can go with a retrofit kit from innovative Lighting Solutions for $360.00 and I would just need to buy the bulbs and make a canopy to hang from the ceiling. I interested in hearing your guys opinion.

Thanks in advance

I would choose the ATI if your budget allows.

Look into Miro retrofit kits. I have one and it works great. They have dimmable models if that is important to you.

Do it yourselves if you can make a project out of it with your pops!

I have not looked into t5 hardware specifically but unless you buy a $150 fixture or something you can cut quite a bit of cost off the high end brands doing your own labor.
