I am one of those 60" lamp users who upgraded my SLS reflectors to a 2 and 3 foot SLR reflector per lamp. A while back I had suggested you could make some clips to attach two of the 3 foot reflectors end to end for the 60" lamps (the 2 & 3 foot reflectors are a bit too short) and you seemed interested in the idea. I was wondering if you have gotten anywhere with it?

Also, I want to extend the 4 SLR setups I bought from you so they run to the end of each lamp. Before I butcher a SLS reflector to fill the gap in the center I thought I would check to see if you have any damaged SLR reflectors I could get a deal on. I need 4 good sections about 6" long.

I am still very impressed with the SLR's, much easier to keep the salt spray cleaned from them.

Thanks

We've still had less than 5 people ask about 5 ft T-5 SLR so we wont have it in the next few months, I think.

I will look into extra pieces we might have. Should be doable.

Thanks. By the way, there are 6 foot, 105 watt T5's out. Have you seen them yet? The ones I saw appear to be helios but doesn't have the ballast built in, it comes seperate and plugs into the lamp fixture. Can't be too long before we get some "real" 6 footers.

Never saw one. Must be a bear to ship. Let me know when and where they're available.

You guys have any new info on the 72" bulbs/reflectors? I'm looking for a 6'rs.

Also I can't locate the width dimensions of your SLR T-5 reflectors for a retro solution I'm working on. Can't find a spec. sheet for them on your website.

Thanks

So far I have only seen the 72 inch lamp in a helios type fixture. I can't for the life of me find the website for the place that has them, I seem to remember they were in Seattle but in any case I wouldn't but them until someone starts building the good lamps in that length.

The IC reflectors are about 2 3/8th wide and 1 1/2 tall eyeballing it.
