Searched IceCap 47 inch Single Lamp T5 Retrofit Reflector in Reviews
one of the best reflector choices available 
| Installation and Operation |
Great product, I'd highly recommend it. This was the original standard in individual parabolic reflectors, and it's still a top quality product. I've been completely satisfied with this product for the 3+ years I've been using them.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Worked exactly as advertised, and to be honest even better than I expected. I overdrive the lamps, and the original clamps used to connect them to the bulb delaminated, but icecap was quick to replace the clips.
|
| Value for money |
I think they're a great product for the money. It would be very challenging to build something for cheaper and get anywhere near the same reflective output as these reflectors. As someone who commonly DIYs over buying new, I wouldnt consider trying a different solution over these SLRs.
|
| Customer Support |
I've been very impressed with Icecap's responsiveness and customer service. I would never hesitate to buy a product made by this manufacturer.
|
| Liked about it |
Great product, holds up well to salt creep and provides excellent light output from T5 bulbs. Wipes down easily, which I do once every ~6 months.
|
| Didn't like |
Early models may come with poor mounting hardware, which was prone to rusting. Later models will have improved fasteners. I'd also recommend grounding each reflector, as induced voltage potential creates a bit of a buzz which, while harmless, can be a bit irritating. This would be true of any reflector, though, and I don't blame Icecap for this at all.

Not for a reflector, but IC is sold when dealing with the ballasts they make.

The TECH reefers look at PAR etc. in this item. I just look at how it makes my tank look, and it looks GREAT!

Excellent Reflector
| Installation and Operation |
One of my 2 favorite reflectors. Works well when you have room for a 2.5" wide reflector. If you need 2", like I did, you need to look elsewhere.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
Performed up to expectations.
|
| Value for money |
Well worth the money. Reflectors can make or break a bulb!
|
| Customer Support |
Icecap has ALWAYS treated me well. Excellent customer service and they are very responsive.
|
| Liked about it |
