VHO size

[tosiek]

Desciding if to put T5's or VHO's under my new hood and space is limited. I need the measurements of a VHO reflector, primarily the width of the reflector along the open side. Anyone have one laying around that they could measure for me?

 

[noodleman]

can't you just use the vho's with internal reflectors? it'll save you some space :flower:

yeah VHO's have the reflectors built into the tubes...no need for external reflector.

 

[prattreef]

yeah no reflector needed.

keep in mind VHO comes with 46.5" and 48" every inch counts in our hobby...lol

i thought the 46.5" IS the 48"... in otherwords, the 46.5" bulb + endcaps = 48"

thats what i thought too but I have to reorder 46.5" to fit my fixture and i think it measure from pin to pin.

and dont forget u need room for the stand off too for the hood.

While this is all true, I just spoke with Tosiek and he is going with T-5's so perhaps :dead:
