Nova Extreme t-5 with single reflectors????any one done it


well i've seen many many posts about people with nova extreme t-5 setups and people recommending them to get single reflectors which i dont believe will fit in the unit because the bulbs are so close together but if anyone on this site has done it could you please tell us how and which reflectors you guys used.......on every site i've been(rc and local clubs)......everyone suggests it but no ones done it......pics would be great

thanks
nick

Well I run t5 lights, but I do not have NOVA extreme. From all the information that I have read, single reflectors for each bulbs is the way to go. I have seen the Nova fixtures, but I highley doubt that you could fit a quality reflector in there. If you are looking for lights, then you can take a look at Tek lights, or you can look into making your own retro kit.
If you already have the Nova light setup, I don't think that there is much that you can do.

Have you thought about gutting the nova fixture and building a new box?
