I'm interested in getting some dimmable I-Bars for my 72L x 29W tank to supplement the metal halides. I've only seen the 48" units offered, which won't work well with my setup.

I'd can best accomodate 4 x 24" units oriented perpendicular to the front glass between the metal halide pendants, or 2 x 60" (or 4 x 36") units parallel to the front glass in front and behind the pendants.

The shorter units probably are only a little cheaper than the longer ones, and obviously require fewer bulbs, so the 2 x 60" would likely be the most cost effective solution.

So are 24" or 60" I-Bars available here in the USA ?

Hi

Only in non dimmable, this is due to only 54 watt dimmable ballasts being available in North America
