ATI T5 parts

Mystikal · Jan 31, 2019

Hi,

Just picked up a used ATI T5, and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for;

1) Reflectors (4x)

Seems like the ones I have are a bit harder to clean than I anticipated.

2) ATI Stickers LOL

I'm planning on painting the unit black (flat) to match my lighting equipment and the stickers are literally caked on, cannot be removed...so I will just paint over these and get new ones.

Thanks!

You can buy replacement reflectors through ATI. Not sure about stickers though. You may want to shoot them an email or send them a PM on here as they are a site sponsor.

Also, just picked this up for my non dimmable version...Going to hardwire the Fan so I do not have to use 3 outlets for the unit.

Wow, that’s pretty cool. Do you mind taking pictures and documenting the steps required to do this? I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one interested in this DIY project.

Yea I’ll definitely try to put together something. I’m going hybrid with my Radions. So it will be something!

Still waiting on parts, but had the urge to put them together. Also, getting some new/used bulbs for the unit in a week!

Can’t wait to tear this thing down and install the auto switch.

During testing phases, I noticed that the radions are getting hot (obviously) since the Ati t5 are sitting close. I purchased some heat barrier that will deter the heat.

I got some of the parts in. Will be tearing it up tonight. Will post pictures in my tank build.

Finished it up. It’s on my tank journal thread.
