Stay away from the line of product named " Jebo" I have bought 2 light sets from the company, and within a months time one ballast blew and 2 bulbs... The company will not return emails, phone calls etc. and will not warranty there product.. Also here is the Kicker.. there Products are not UL Rated or certified.

There PC fixtures have vents on the ends which misleads you to think that there are fans in there. (which there are none) and the lights do get pretty hot....

Just figured I would share!

Never used them but the prices are right!149.99 for a 175de with two PCs. Hell I would use this on a nano.

dude the prices are on the money :D my nano is gonna be too small for that 175 MH/T5 setup you're talkin about but that's a great deal.

i have heard that jebo setups are garbage, but the one i'm looking at isn't a jebo. it's the smallest pc setup they have, like 11 inces or something.

no i appreciate the warning, they have other brands they sell as well. i'm just wondering though since their gimmick is "true factory direct savings" if their other products are garbage like the jebo products are.

that little nano light that i'm looking at is only 20 bucks though, well actually like 35 with shipping i think, but it's still cheap enough to give it a try.
