Lumenarc Reflector question

DCG1286 · Jun 5, 2010

Ok due to the fact that I got screwed over twice by locals in purchasing their lights ... I have decided to just buy brand new lights. :bigsmile:

I have deicded on 3 lumenarc mini's since they will fit the openings in my canopy perfectly (previous owner of the tank designed the canopy for these particular reflectors). Now question is (totally noob question and since I have never ordered reflectors before), do I have to order a mogul socket to go with the fixture? I am going to buy three of them as a pack (reflector, ballast and bulb). It's not 100% clear, or I am not reading it properly (most likely) but I just want to place 1 order and get everything that I need all at once.

Here is the link to the reflector

Thanks everyone!!!

When I bought my LA III's the mogul socket came with them. I ordered from a different vendor. You may want to contact the vendor to be sure.

Just a little more information for you. Hope this helps some.

Just to let you know. When you buy them, they should include the Mogul, but check the listing to make sure. They do not come with the UV shield. The shield should cost another $25 bucks or so if you can find them. Regular glass (the kind that looks a little green) works the same. You can get that at lowes or HD if you want for about $3-$5. Also, the end of the mogul will not have the plug on it. It is just the end of a "cord". The ballast will/should have a female plug on it. If you want the correct male plug for the reflector, call and ask if they have them. You can also DIY one, which is alot cheaper. I just used the male and female plugs and put those on the end of the reflector and mogul. $10 of parts from WalMart. That way, I can change out reflectors/ballast combinations when I like. Hope this helps.
