I think Justin or other member recommended me this company a few months ago when I was searching for lamps for light set up.

Well, I finally have a shelving unit (3 tiers of 48" x 18") set up and I need to get 4 foot T5 lamp like right now.

The company never responded to my email months ago when I first checked out their website.

I tried to order 3 units of the product I want just now, and as I was filling up all the required information, I was stuck at the payment stage.
It just says "No Payment Methods", so I wonder what this means?

I was able enter name, address, phone number and shipping method (quite expensive ($69), how heavy are these things??)

Has anyone recently made a purchase from this company?

Please recommend me a good company.
It's urgent! I need lamps!

Or florescent light that HD carry, do they come as complete set that I can use for my shelve?
I'm not very handy with fixing things up at all, so I need something that can be used right out of the box. :)
 
Know nothing of the company, but T-5's can be a bit heavy and bulky depending on how many banks of lights you have.
Save yourself shipping and head to your local grow store. They will have everything you need.

I don't know of any grow store here where they might carry these lights.

I just visited Home Depot and they had almost identical product I need, except it is something that goes directly on the ceiling not something I can hang on my shelf.

I was so excited then super disappointed.
 
How much headdroom does each shelf have? Why are you getting T5? All you need is one 4' T8 shoplight fixture of 2 bulbs each for each shelf. I use daylight bulbs 6500k.

Each of the three layers on the shelve is about 23-24 in tall, and I would like the light as close to where they hang as possible to minimize wasted vertical space.

I think I'll go back to Home Depot tomorrow when I have time to have closer look.
I don't think they had two bulb units but single unit.
Plus, I though the reflector was not that nice or at least it looked white as opposed to mirror surface which I thought was not very efficient?

Things are crazy at the moment as I have to finish up packing all day today.
Moving in tomorrow. But plants and light stand ( without the light) are already at the new place. lol
Moving company won't move plants but I felt safer moving them on my own any ways.
I'll keep checking the website. Please help!!!!

Or I'll just buy those from lowes?
How often do I have to change them?
I understand that the bulbs last around one year all the while the efficient continue to decrease, and this unit that houses the bulbs last 2-3 years??

How much space do you allow between the light and the plants?
Your Roth and other Paphs.
 
Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't know these things are called shop light.

Btw, at HD, they only had a single bulb unit, no 2 bulb units like the one you shared in the link to Lowe's.

I might just order 6 of those along with the kind of bulb you mentioned.
 
Thank you for the info.
Do you know the business name?
Or do you know if they carry light that I want?
I'd like to know before going over, you know.

Otherwise, I will just order online from Lowe's.
