In my search for lighting, I came across this company who I've never heard of.  I don't think their stuff is neccessarily high end, but I wondered if anyone had any thoughts?

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

The Catalina lighting systems have very poor reflectors on them. They are called individual reflector but the are just flat and bent up a bit to each side. I believe they use the workhorse sytle balasts in these fixturealthough im not positive on this one.

I believe the tek 4 bulbs = the cat. 6 bulb in terms of output.

I have a 200W heater made by them, it works ok, but there was a spelling mistake on the packaging........if that means anything to you.
