Hi all

Was looking to get a new metal halide unit. Thinking of going to go for the Giesemann infiniti, with twin 250w halides and 4 x 54w T5s. Came across one of the Blau units, that also had the twin 250 halides and 4 x 54w T5s, and was around £300 cheaper. Has anyone had any experience with the Blau units?

cheers
Brian

I havent heard of them but I have a Silver Sun twin 250w with twinT5's and 3 led clusters for moonlight, got the whole unit shipped from Germany for under £200. Cracking looking piece of kit and cheap as chips, bombproof even!

I suggest a change of plan... Let the wookie win

Someone else has mentioned the silver sun, they bought it off ebay for £180. Sounds a huge bargain. How long have you been running yours for Bobba?

I have had Giesemann lights and I was very happy with them. But depends on what you want to keep really. I now run 3x 400w lumenarc's as I mainly plan on keeping SPS. But they did fall off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, not everyones cup of tea.

Life is to short for frags

I do agree that Lumenarc's are not the best looking light pendent in the world but if you want performance then you got to put-up with it because they are with out doubt the best on the market IMO. :wallbash:

I was debating whether to go with Lumenarcs, as I was going for a mainly sps tank. But after seeing them, my other half gave me the look, and as seeing as she is going to be buying me the lighting as a present,I had to give in.
