2 x 13watt Deluxe Bright Kit™

21302

$29.99

This kit will provide everything you need to install two 13w compacts in a wood canopy or in a custom enclosure. It includes a MIRO 4 reflector (17"L x 3"W x 1.5"H) specifically designed for 13w compacts and an 8ft. power cord with an in-line switch in addition to two 13 watt thermally protected magnetic ballasts, two 2-pin GX23 sockets, and wirenuts and screws needed for installation. Also included are installation instructions and enough hookup wire to allow you to install your ballasts up to 2 feet from the sockets. Requires two 13w bulbs (not included).
2 x 13watt Bright Kit™

21301

$14.99

You can use this kit to convert a 1x15w light strip to 2x13w.   Includes: Two 13 watt thermally protected magnetic ballasts; two 2-pin GX23 sockets; wire for completing the connection of the ballasts to the power cord and switch in your light strip; wirenuts and screws needed for installation; and pop-in vent covers and base pads.   Requires two 13W bulbs (not included).  Click here for photos and links.

IMPORTANT: If you choose to use your 2x13watt Bright Kit™ (Item #21301) to retrofit a regular light strip, you'll want to be sure to order our FREE  Installation Tips (Item  #21309), use the two pop-in end-vent covers and rear corner base pads included in your kit, and place your strip on top of a glass cover.  This should remedy the heat problem you'd otherwise have with so much light built into such a small strip.  Used this way, we've found that these small light strips will not get as warm as some larger strips such as a commonly available 2 x 30 watt aquarium strip - either on top or inside near the bulbs. NOTE, however, that you should not use a light strip retrofitted with two 13watt CF bulbs on top of a regular plastic tank cover.   That could get so hot that your thermally protected ballasts might shut down - especially if the ambient temperature is high.
