SOLITE Metal Halide set

[o2bubble]

Anyone using it and care to comment if on any problems with it? Thinking of getting the 3 x 150w MH set. Price looks good and comes with integrated fan and external e-ballast.

Type 1? I'm using Type 3 MH + T5, bought it 2nd hand, 1 years+ old, when i got it, the fan not working already. Guess the fan are weak.

[o2bubble]

yes. type 1. Hmm, seem like the fan is weak and not reliable... maybe will go for boyu set instead which is cheaper.

Steven told me can replace with a normal AC fan, but it's difficult to open the fixture when I already hang it on the wall, heavy, and me lazy haha.

I like their lighting products, but where and who should I go to in order to view or buy one? I believe they are a Taiwanese brand. Feel and look better than dymax in my opinion. Fan is probably some mass produced generic one...

I've seen atman and boyu MH sets, they look quite "rough" in their workmanship. maybe that just me ^_^

aquamarin and aquaculture has it.

Yep the workmanship & quality are good. Nothing to complain, maybe the fan is just a rare case. The set only come with stand, I bought the hanging kit here:

[o2bubble]

hi all, thanks for sharing your experience with Solite. Happy to say that I managed to find a good condition used 4ft type 3 set at a reasonable price and getting it soon! Hope everything is ok! cheers!

[d2sign]

Hoho, type 3 nice nice. You gonna fix it with your hanging bar?

[o2bubble]

thanks, i intend to just use the stands. Will check if it comes with the hanging wire to decide.

hi bro sign, i got the set and everything works! The stand too low and i will go buy the hanging kit to hang the set. Care to pm me how much you paid for it?

[d2sign]

you got PM~
Yep, the stand are low, very hard to do maintenance for a planted tank.

Just drill and fix two hooks at the ceiling . That's how I hang mine 6ft MH light set for 5 years.

Actually,I thought of instead of hanging from the ceiling, I may want to get the hanging bars for giesemann MH: http://www.reefdepot.com.sg/AddProduct.asp?ProdID=1219 but costly (over $200)

$2 vs $200 !!

hanging bars look neat and easier to adjust.
Can consider this one too: http://mizuworld.com/index.php?time=...etail&pid=1447

Yap, in my consideration list already but somehow I feel that the bars are a bit too thick and not so nice to view from front..

I'm using this one to hang my type 3. Bought from Ikea, width around 35-40cm, forgot how much but less than $30 I guess. Maybe can consider as an option too.
