    Hi and Happy Holidays
    I am currently running two Lumen Max pendants with 2x 250 MH
    I have been considering switching to a Halide/T5 fixture. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to how I could add actinic to our already existing pendant setup before I go ahead and spend the bucks on a combo fixture.

    thanks:)

    I'd start looking at T5 retrofits, I found this one quick going down the sponsor list:
    LET Miro-4 T5 High Output Retrofit Kit

    Then you have to figure out how to hang it - something DIY would be fun.

    One of many ways here I am sure....
