yes, i would agree with this statement ,but i bought a 14k hamilton and paid a pretty good grip for it so im hoping that i can get away with one lesser quality. iv been running the same halides for a year now and im staring to get an algea out break i cant seem to shake.( im hopeing its the lighting) so hopefully this light will work out ok for me.
