Sorry, I couldn't find the booklet so I looked up Lee valley tools. The 22 inch is $30 for the complete light and I actually have the 46 in. which is $39.50
22W 6400 Kelvin.

Thanks. I guess it is one tube. Is the reflector good? does it cover a wide area?

Mine are 4 ft. fixture with bulb, It is High Output and around 6500k. they also come in 2 and 3 foot sizes but the price is barely any less. I got two 3 foot ones recently for $2.00 less than the 4 footers but I needed that size for a shelf. They are so light and small and convenient! You can also buy a canopy for them but I priced them at around $19.00 for a 4 footer and you can make your own for much less.

They are a good deal and they are supposed to be one of the newest and best types.

wow my thread sure got hijacked....lol

[silken]

Sorry John We got diverted I guess.

I guess it did get hijacked, but at least we stuck to lights this time!

If the 4' fixture is only 22 watts, it explains the lower price.

The HO fixtures are 54W, so have almost 2.5x the light output, too. I am using a single $45 Hydrofarm "High Performance" fixture over a 55-gallon tank of jewel orchid seedlings.

lol its cool lots of good stuff gets brought up when they get sidtracked,bump

[Vanda lover]

That is interesting. All I can say is the Sunblasters do work, use little space and hydro and have a really good reflector included.
I'm not sure that we are all that side tracked. After all, it is still lights we're talking about.
