Comments: NOTE: This is a review of the 48" 150 MH x2 + T5 54w x 2. I bought this fixture after an unfortunate experience with another manufacturer who offered great customer service but a very poorly designed and manufactured product. The Eco/Plus is probably the oldest light made by Giesemann and is getting hard to find. It is also the least expensive model in their range--but still not cheap. That being said, it is beautifully manufactured and it screams quality. The ballasts are magnetic but absolutely silent, even at start up. The MH lamps are, to my eye, a pure, clean white. Illumination is quite even in both axes over my 125g and there is very little spill light. The cable suspension system is slick and easy to adjust. My only complaint is that the instruction manual is missing all but the first and last pages. However, this is a known phenomenon with this model. Go figure. A fixture of exceptional quality and performance. Worth every penny. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
