Light fixture advice

fishroomlady · 09/02/2012, 04:21 PM

In looking around for lighting, I came upon this fixture and it would be perfect for my needs in a 36" size but I could only find 48". Does anyone use this fixture and does it come in a 36" size or any advice on where I might be able to search? I hope this is the site pasted correctly.....

based on your signature, i would be looking for a t-5 setup or dual 150w metal halides.
just search your local craigslist for deals.

Thank you all for the advice! That was so nice of you to put that search info. in there nemo! Michigan, I understand the idea of spending more but 2 kids in college this year - makes the spending thing a little hard

I may try the craigslist idea too but then one never knows how old the bulbs may be on a used set up.......so many decisions....
