We replaced our light on our in progress FOWLR. It has some issues... might be a really good deal for someone who knows what they are doing or who takes the time to work with it or wants it for parts.
This is what we were told the light was when we bought it-
760-watt Odyssea Unit (4 x 65-watt CF and 2x 250-watt MH)
When we bought it, only 3 of the actinic cf lights were working. Now only 1-2 are working most of the time. Neither Kristy nor I think the MH are actually 250 watt, we thought they were 175 watt. It is possible the ballasts are just not that great. It is possible only one of the MH is working now also.
So you can see why it is a bargain... $25 :)
Shout if you are interested... We could bring it to the swap meet.
