| 96W AHSupply fixture / Advice? Does anyone have any experience with AHSupplies 96W fixture and how much light that it puts out? I'd like to know what types of orchids would do well under this amount of light. I'm placing an order for two fixtures already to place over 4 Vivs with bromeliads and orchids and was planning on order an additional 2 to place on a wire rack stand. I am hoping to have them, one each, 24"-30" above each of the two shelves of the new stand. This stand won't have Phals. or Paphs. on it. I would like to have some of the taller orchids or higher light requirements on this stand. Would I be better of with one 96W or two, side by side? Is 96W Overkill? Should I go with 55W? Hopefully I'll get some responses because I'd like to order them by Sunday. Any advice would definately be appreciated! Wimpy |

| I have 4 of there retro kits ..2 96w and 2 55w..my bulbs seem to last longer with there kits compared to others..and give a crisper light.they both use the same ballasts="work horse 5".and there reflectors are the best I have ever owned.I never used there bulbs.so im not sure on those..but threw 6 years of use..all 4 of my retro kits are still working great..to where the others quit working long ago.Im new to orchids , so I hope someone else chimes in for your light requierment needs...tho compact flouresent carry a good amount of light.24 to 30" is a far distance. |
