I purchased four on these for my tank 250 gallon reef tank. As with most lighting there was a bit of salt creep on the reflectors from small air bubbles bursting on the surface. I went to clean the relectors after a month or so, and I noticed that the reflectors had degraded greatly anywhere there was salt creep. This resulted in significant performance reductions. Stay far away from these reflectors.

This is a great product. I have introduced the 48" T5 actinic bulb to my already existing VHO light system. I now have a 6foot white vho, 6foot actinic vho and the t5 actinic and the color combination is wonderful. The reflector came promptly and was easy to set up. If you purchase this product don't forget the bulb clips that are sold seperately. I would recommend this product to others.

These were exactly what I was looking for.
Nice low profile for a DIY light,
I did not need the clips since I am mounting
the reflector directly to the fixture

I was skeptical about spending so much on reflectors but afterward I was very glad I did. Keeps the light where I wanted it almost like a spot light. You really must get the bulb clips with these because you can see in looking at the bulb reflection (while off) that spacing between the reflector and bulb is critical to the efficiency. I'm actually going to buy more to replace my T8 shop lights with single T5 standard output tubes. I really appreciate the quality of light and efficiency.

The product is exactly as claimed and it was extremely well packed. I only wish it had come with the clips to attach it to the bulbs for what, another 50 cents. It would have been easier for me at least.

I haven't had any problems with the reflector- the clips were easy to put on and the reflector is working good. It seems to me like it might rust in the future but they aren't that expensive so it's not like you can't replace them.
