odyssea sucks
google odyssea lights starts fire

I would pass, but good luck.
Plus one on this.

I had an odysse fixture a few years back. The ballast got so hot one day that it burned the rubber plugs it was sitting on and started burning the wood under the ballast. Luckily I was home at the time. If not I can almost guarantee that it would of burnt my house down.

That day I learned you get what u pay for.
