nanoty Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 This is not really a lighting question so I threw it in General Dis. I bought this light from a local reefer for $100 and it works great but did not come with any legs. I found that seller on ebay that says he will sell me the legs for $50 plus shipping. That sounds a little ridiculus to me since the coralife legs are like $5.99. Has anyone seen this fixture anywhere else before? I know it is not a real high quality light but that is why I only paid $100 for it and don't want to blow another $50 on legs. On the side of the light it says "Ultralight" and "Made in the USA" and my internet searches have turned up nothing. Thanks for any help in advance, here are a few pics of the actual light.

phil121 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Looks kind of like a JBJ Formosa fixture, however, i do no recall having seen one with a three bulb configuration. Link to comment
121a Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 the only PC fixture with three bulbs is a finnex, correct me if i'm wrong. I would email aquatraders to see if there legs would work as it looks like my old oddysea MH fixture. Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thanks for the advice guys, I will try to contact them. In the mean time I can't believe no one is using the same fixture. I am trying to figure out how the legs would even attach to the light, there aren't any mounting holes that I can tell. The only thing I can think of is that they slide into the ventlike fins on the front and back of the light. Please if you have or have seen this light or have any information that might help me post up or PM me, thanks. Link to comment

I thought it looked better than most of the store bought stuff. I cant remember where I saw it though. Link to comment

nanoty Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 i have this fixture in a 72" config, with four metal halides and four pc's. i don't know what the brand is either. Can you post a pic of the legs, or better yet just send yours to me . How do they attach to the fixture? I will check this store at this Chinese plaza they have a bunch of lights I never heard of. So I will write down the name and check for you. Thanks a lot, I appreciate any help. I remember seeing someone on NR cut mounting legs out of some thick acrylic sheet. I thought it looked better than most of the store bought stuff. I cant remember where I saw it though. I can't even look at acrylic without screwing it up. I thought about building my own from aluminum but not sure how to start. Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 So I just emailed the ebay store again to double check on a few things and asked how much for the legs just for dedundancy. I was hoping the seller wouldn't remember me from the last time I emailed and apparently they didn't. I asked them if they are avail? How much are they? How do they attach? Do you have any pics? And if they don't work can I send them back? The response I got back was, "the legs are pretty expensive, like $100". WTF? They doubled in price in a week? They supposedly give them for free if you want them when you buy a light but I don't see how they hell they can cost $100. Sounds like they just don't want to deal with me. Anyways, the seller is a joke and now I am definately not buying crap from them. Just thought you would want to know how frustrated I am. Blah Link to comment

nanoty Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 lol yah hang it. Yeah I was entertaining going canopyless (word?) if I could find legs for it but I may just use a canopy and hang the fixture inside, of course if it has a canopy then you wouldn't see the legs anyways. Thanks again. Link to comment
