Anyone have kessil t5 hybrid

[Bacon505]

Snyone here have thier kessils at the end of their ati t5 or hybrid it in the center of their t5? Would the heat of the t5 will shorten the life of the kessil? I have mine at the end of my ati t5 and its actually hot

I have 2 kessil 160 in between 2 dual t5 fixtures. So 2 kessil and 4 t5 total. So far no issues, but the kessils cooling fans are above the hood while the t5s are below.

I'll get a pic under the hood at lights out, but here's a front view to show how kessils mounted. There are 4" ports the lights shine through.

Yeah those are above the t5. Mine sit at he end where the hot air of the t5 is coming out

Is that a diy fixture??

I have 3 a360's mounted between 2 sets of 2x54w t5's. The 360's at each end are a couple of inches from the ends of the ballasts. I have the hamiton retrofits. The kessils hang down about and inch below where the t'5's do. Just enough to have clearance for the fan vents. Your questions is a good one, and one I thought about. At 350.00 per light, I don't want any early failures! My hybrid system has only been running at "fullblast" for 6months, so too early to tell. So far I cannot tell that there is excessive heat. When my T-5's go off, I lift my canopy and check the pucks. They are warm, but not hot by any means.

No, the Kessils have properly sized heat sinks.
