used 48" Outer Orbit 2x150MH, 4xT5
I've had this fixture for about 4 years now and recently went to an LED setup. One of the sliding panels for the t5's is cracked down at one end. It is in an area that does not affect function and has never let moisture in, but it is broken straight across. The panel is still removable for bulb replacement. It has some slight corrosion in areas as can be expected. I have replaced the fans once already, but one of them when the light turns off makes a strange sound. I think they cost me about $20 each to replace (2 fans total). All of the ballasts work but one of my halide bulbs is not firing properly. The housing, led's, switches and legs, t5 brackets and ballasts are all in great condition. If i had another tank i would keep this to use on it without reservation. however, i don't so i'm looking for someone to get it off my garage workbench! These lights are in the $700 range new. Make me an offer. I'm going out there right now to test everything again and maybe get a few pictures. Might be willing to trade for something non aquaria related. I'm in to shooting as well. Thanks!

Blue moon LED's, 2 sets aren't lighting but did before. I'm guessing a connection is loose as they run in series. If you look closely at the bottom left lens on the T5's, you can see the crack.
All the white LED's worked.
Top of the light. From here it looks new.
Everything fired right up, it needs new bulbs though.

Thanks for the light! I got the T5's swapped out and it is cranking! Also, the blue LED you mentioned was just a loose connection inside like you thought it was....got it fixed up perfectly!
Thanks again!
