Anybody here buy nice pendant light systems?
Not me, I've always wired up the diy lights myself. 
 
I had no idea how much money these things cost.  For an average of $1,300 these fixtures better be flippin' sweet.

For $1300, they better talk.

They are nice, and look nice, but dont operate any better than DIY. I have a maristar fixture on my 120 and I had a hell of a time getting a bad ballast out. It's nice that it is all enclosed though

Adam, it's only money... you can always get more.
 
I agree with Crystal

I would say they are nice in ways and bad like Crystal stated. For my self Retro is the only way for me because I have a canopy. So why pay the extra cost if you know what I mean
65 Gallon and just getting started again after over year break.

Outer Orbit fixtures with 4-T5's aren't a bad deal, if you get the 250w versions with separate ballasts.

Do a search on Sfigloi fixtures or Geissmann fixtures- now there's some money.
