lighting

Does anyone know information about this odyssea light brand? I have found them through the web and was wondering why the halide and power compacts are so cheap. What's the difference between this brand and all the others that are so much more pricey??

One word.... QUALITY.

I have an Odyssea fixture. I like it, and think it's a great light for the money. It is well made, not cheesy like the Jebo PC fixtures I had before (even though I'm pretty sure it's the same manufacturer). There are a couple of things I don't like about it though. Firstly, it has one power cord. It needs to have three so you can have the PC, MH, and moonlights on seperate timers. Also, I am unable to find double-ended bulbs in 175 watts anywhere else. That means I can't expirament with other manufacturers' bulbs. Odyssea sells replacement bulbs at great prices, but what happens if they ever go out of business? I'll have to rewire the light.

In a nutshell, great fixture for the price, but the higher end fixtures may not have any issues at all.
