Odyssea T5 Quad Timer Aquarium Light Marine

[Trio91]

Does anyone have any experience, past or present with thsee fixtures? I'm thinking about picking one up from ebay

I have a cheaper 5' T5 model. Only complaints are that the blue LED night lights all stopped working a few months after I got it. On the model I have, the bulbs are held in place with plastic clips. They get brittle and break easily. Aside from that, it works.

Run run run far away!!! Their fixtures are cheaply built and don’t last. I had one of their fixtures and it was nothing but problems!! A few years ago there were reports of fixtures catching fire!

The issue is, I think my Kessil is on is way out....this is my second one. It's been running super hot no matter what I did to clean it and I've been gettingsome coral bleaching.

I do have a spare t5 fixture (as a backup) but 1x of my ballast has blown so now only 2 of 4 bulbs are operating. Was considering replacing both, but was thinking it would be best (and maybe cheaper) to get a new unit. I also have bulbs lying around that were barely used

Dropping another $400 on a light may be out of the question and I think I wanna go T5....

I have a DIY retrofit unit you can have. Maybe you can rig something up to get your current fixture to work? I could meet you halfway to drop off.

What size are you looking for

 

[erics210]

I bought the 72 inch 4 bulb T5 with 2 blue 2 white
Ballasts both went. $75 for replacements for a pair.
Unit cost like $175 with shipping I think.
Was running minimally 5 months before ballasts blew out.
If you wanted to get the replacement ballasts i would take some corals in trade for it. LMK
