Odyssea Dual T5HO question

randyl · 06-20-2012, 03:00 PM

I know some T5HO fixtures also take T5NO bulb to produce normal output (and more importantly consume less energy). Will it work for Odyssea Dual T5HO (24")?

Also, this fixture works with just one bulb, correct?

I don't need HO that's why I ask this. If this fails, I assume 24" T5HO and T5NO share the same socket size and length so I can just swap the HO ballast for a NO ballast, right?

Just get an NO fixture. They are cheaper. I have 2 for sale, actually. 24" coralife.

However, dont take my word on this, but I remember that the Odyssea fixtures are labeled as HO, but their output, even with HO bulbs, are closer to NO because they aren't that high quality.
