Comments: This is a really nice light - not too heavy (20lbs for the hanging part), nice electronic ballast, very nice bulbs. Best of all, it has NO noisy fans; it cools without them. I hung mine from Giesemann arm brackets which I bolted to the wall studs; worked great. I like the ease of raising and lowering the fixture (push of a little button). Less expensive MH plus T5 fixtures will have features differing from this Giesemann in these areas: they are heavier, uglier, use fans, less graceful method of hanging them, lower quality ballast, more heat produced. I did a lot of research and am happy with this choice. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great

But low ceilings only! by ARTHUR NYC

Comments: I like the light intensity and the look of the lamp. However the suspension wires are only 5 feet long!!! If your ceiling is high, like mine, you end up having the lighting system 4 feet above your tank!- which means it's useless. Also, english version of the installation instruction is partially unreadable - bad copy. I called Giesemann four days ago - so far no answer. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
