I gave up and called Ken at AH Supply....

I'm a dumbass... I ordered the 1x55.... 1 twin bulb = 55watts....

I'm now standing in the corner with the dunce cap on.... no need to beat me
up anymore.....


How many reflectors do you have? If you have one, then you have 55
watts. If you have two you have 110 watts. I think you are confused
here. The bulbs each have two tubes, with a base that has four pins.
If you actually ordered a 2 x 55 watt kit then you should have two
sockets, two reflectors, and two bulbs for a total of four tubes. If
you still have the packing list then take a look at it. It's
possible, but not probable that Kim made a mistake in packing your
order. I have ordered from AH Supply four times and have never had a
problem.

I have the 2x55 brite lite kit... it just occurred to me.... do I have
110
Watts? or just 55?? that's one socket, 2 long bulbs.... the more I think
about it, I can't figure whether I've got 55 or 110??? I think 110.....

110watts over a 29g is good...
55watts over a 29g isn't that great....

plants are growing great... but could be just dumb luck...

with CO2, PMDD, and that much light, it is growing pretty good.....
