I have thought about the nova before, but w/o individual reflectors its not as cool. How many bulbs are you getting from catalina for 100? I didnt see and 18" listed on the site, was it custom?

I agree with digi or birdsnest. I hear scroll is pretty easy too but I've never had one of those.

I bought the Nova Extreme light fixture and it's 'ok' but really needs the individual reflectors like fish.freak mentioned  |
