Any body have any experience or thoughts with these fixtures?

Will a fixture of this type provide better/stronger lighting than a 4x65w CFL?

it doesnt have individual reflectors but with 4ho bulbs i doubt you will need the extra par.

id email the seller and see what kind of ballasts they have.

for a little more you can get a catalina 3 bulb t5 fixture with individual reflectors. ive not used catalina but ive heard good things about them.

Light is light, so no, that fixture won't provide "better" light than any other fixture. The reflector in that fixture isn't typical for T5HO fixtures, so it will give less light than Tek or Catalina fixtures. 65 watt PC fixtures vary all over the map as to the quality of the reflectors, from fixtures with barely enough room for the bulbs, let alone reflectors, to fixtures with good reflectors. So, there really isn't any way I know of to compare those two options.
