As I finish piecing together our 150 build was hoping to get insight from fellow lighting pros regarding possibly customizing a t5 fixture when two kessils.

Has anyone done this before?

Which fixture did y'all use? How did you do it. Etc?

Pictures please! Thanks all!

I think I'd only want 4 bulbs. And kessils in between. Just not sure how I could make the housing....

Why are there so many high end t5s? Can I really just find a cheapo and use it? I don't care about dimming capabilities since my kessils already dim.

Not any worth using.
I used 2 LET 2X60 from BRS around my Kessil's.
And tied both ballast's together on one cord.

I know someone here did that exact thing, I forget which fixture they used, but it looked really good. I'll try to find the thread.
