Hi~as some of you may know, I'm in the process of building a 300+ gallon terrarium/orchidarium. Today I finished the light fixture. It will go inside of a decorative lighting box at the top of the cage.
In the pics, those are NOT the bulbs I will be using--I just use those as test ones so I don't have to risk breaking the ones I will use. And, yes, I know, it probably would have been better to use (4) 96 watt fixtures instead of (8) 55 watt ones, but I thought of that a little too late.
SPECS: 440 watts, 8 x 55 watt straight pin compact flo's; two top mounted fans and two fans on the back panel; miro polished reflectors; water resistant endcaps; 4 ballasts.
4 of the fixtures are retro kits from ah supply. The other 4 were gutted from a Jebo cf fixture.
