Jim, you hijacker you :)

no experience with the company, but general rule, single bulb and single reflector is best.

I know you know this, you can hook up depending on size of bulbs and ballast allowance, 2 or 3 bulbs.

it looks nice, for 9 bucks, bulb included, thats cheap, hmm wait thats for the foot long one, it uses a fuse not a ballast, not sure if their claim is truthful .

I know that HD has the same thing, I got a 36" T5 in my fuge for $27, but the bulbs were crap, so I replace them with 12k ones, they also sell them so the bulbs are about $ 20, so $47 for new double T5s with no individual reflectors.
