Odyssea light , Any good ?

[Jmixer08]

I just bought an odyssea light and its been running for about a week the timer was working great and the lights were all fine , now nothing is even turning on not even the time ????? Idk what is going on with it but im not too happy. It is a 48" fixture with 3 T5 bulbs and a row of blue L.E.D.s in the middle not sure on the item #

I haven't heard many good things about them.. try and return it for your money back and save up for a reef breeders led or build your own if you like diy.

i bought a beamswork led from aquatraders. it works fine, but is this where you made the purchase? if so they can be hard to get a hold of. there is no answering machine, and mostly they dont pick up. i had to call severl times and finally got thru to them. if that is where you purchased from

I used one for awhile before switching to Halides. I didn't have any problems with mine.

I had a metal halide on from them. The ballast was crap so switched out for an icecap ballast and never had any trouble with it.

I have a 48" version on my tank with ATI bulbs and I have zero issue with it. Going on a year now too. Before that I had there 20" version. That one was over a year old and still no issues. But my 48" fixture now is also the one without the timer built in. I already had timers from the first one so I went without.

[joeyhatch11]
