[slayerhellfire]

Hey everyone, I just got this 48 inch t-5 light to supplement my kessil A360w over my 75, I replaced the bulb with ATI and was excited but people tell me they will bun my house down...what the heck, I got the light fort 40 bucks it was only used for about 3 months very good condition. I am only running it about 4-5 hours a day. The model is from 2012 possibly newer 2012 was the inspection date. Should i worry about this I am pulling my hair out now....

I heard the fire incidents was from their metal halide units. To be honest I've been looking at their t5's to supplement my hydra as well. Any input would help me too.

Had a 36 inch 4 bulb with ati bulbs for about a year with no problems till the ballast went on it it was a good light for the price. I have now upgraded to ati sunpower

I have a 36 inch T5 setup with timer built in. I have had it for about 4 years. Had to replace both ballasts. About $ 40.00 each. They just plug in. Easy to replace.
