To DIY a set of 2 tube T5 u need

E Ballast - Elbiru $25/ Vossloh$40/ Osram $60

Reflector - Parabolic or non-parabolic - $20/30 average for 2 pieces

Endcaps - Waterproof $30 or non-waterproof $2 (4 pieces)

HO Tubes - AquaZ, ATI etc...$50 average (2 tubes)

Tube clips- $2

Wires to connect everything up-$5

Three pin plug - $3

Casing - $25 average

All add up wud be close to $150 or so.

and u have to source for material, drill holes, wire up all the part urself.

Maybe u might want to consult dr evil to do up a set for u if the price is not too far

away from the added cost of material.

looking for 2 ft ATI 3pcs HO light for my diy,$50 average for 2 ? can you tell me where to buy.

[Glare]

Currently, I have negotiated pricing for T5 lighting comparable to those that are DIY. This hopefully will help those who have no knowledge of DIY or find it a little difficult to source for parts or how exactly to put one together to save the trouble and also get a quality unit from Germany with approvals.

those brother who want to diy ur own.....can pm me lah.

i do have some spare stuff.....endcaps, reflectors, eballast for 2,3,4ft. leftovers from my projects.

all new... free consultation

hi bro palm,

The $50 on average for 2 tubes meant for Aquaz tubes.

For ATI tubes , I last bot at $50 per piece..about 2-3 months ago.

Maybe u might be able to get used ATI tubes at half the price

as i last sold off 2 used b4 tubes at $25 per piece.
