Marsaqua 300w. Go to HD or Lowes and buy the clear-pebbled light diffuser and the cutting tool (it will shatter otherwise). Replace the clear acrylic shield with the diffuser, and I’d go ahead and remove the lenses as well. No more disco. If you can add a pair of t5, put in something that covers the violet spectrum. If not, swap out a few of the leds with some 420nm. Or, save yourself a lot of time and money and find a pair of used 175w halide pendants!
