Need retrofit

[cpreefguy]

Where can I find the CSL 32 watt retrofit for the cheapest price?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

You may want to try www.championlighting.com. They seem to have fairly reasonable prices on their PC retro kits

How are you with DIY wiring? I have 2 seperate 32w retrokits, but here's the deal: The standard retrokit DOES NOT come with moisture-proof endcaps, as they are made to be mounted under the clear plastic light cover in an eclipse tank.

 

When I removed both of my kits, I purchased 2 new moisture proof endcaps with 6' wires. I snipped the wire leads from the ballast to the old sockets, but never hooked set any of them up again. I also have brand new 32w smartbulbs, too.

 

I'm into it for $16 for the bulb, $11 for the endcap and the original cost of the ballast from Champion (same price). I'll sell each of the setups for $38 plus shipping.

 

oops: just realized two things: I may still have the original endcaps (99% sure of that), but I butchered the reflectors getting things to fit. Ah, just let me know if you're interested, and we can talk.

Hi, I've never tried DIY wiring, that may be a prob., also I asked for the retrofit for Christmas. If I don't get it, I will be interested. Thanks for the info.

Where did you get the 32w bulb for only $16?

I got them @ AquariumPros.com. Believe it or not, they actually arrived in a boxed from champion lighting! I guess A.P.just takes orders and has a third party fill them, but I was surprised that their price was cheaper than champion!
