Just brought a used Coralife light

carpet1 · 11/09/2009, 08:46 PM

OK, Maybe I screwed up. I purchased this Ebay item 130340523332 . Got here with 2 plug-ins on one end that have 4 pin holes. Nothing on the other end. I will take it apart tomorrow to see what I have, or is missing. Now, how can I find a product guide on this light.
Thanks,

honestly I would return it. My reason is because it needs new bulbs and those are going to cost you around $30/each give or take a few bucks.

You can get nicer units used cheaper with bulbs for around $100.

Case in point, I am selling my 36 inch Current USA PC with perfectly fine bulbs used around 5 months for $100. My reason the same, I'm getting T-5's and want to recoup some of the cost.

it's a 2x96 watt fixture. there's not supposed to be more bulb sockets on the other end.

It is a Power Compact fixture, and as Ricks Reef said, it only has plugs on one end.

Dummy me!!! I was looking for a T-5 socket, and my brain locked up. After I realized what I had, I had already made the post. Now to find some lights worth the money. My LFS wants $65 PER light.
