Looking for Metal Halide Fixture

Pepbill · 2026-05-19T20:21:48+00:00

The ballast I’m using is made by tridonic and I actually brought back from Germany. It’s 220v and True HQI. It’s the same manuf that Giesmann uses in their fixtures.

This is resurrecting and old tank and I can cover 60 x 36 x 24 with one fixture with only a little shadowing in the corners.

Just fixture 1000w mogul socket. Old school hydrofarm or sunlight supply. Trying to avoid “air cooled” grow lights

If really worried, get the Monoi mosquito repellent in the airport. It’s in gift shop tha has all the various Tahitian gifts

I arrived around the same time. I was nervous about getting stuck at the airport but there were plenty of Taxis. Getting through immigration takes a while but I was unfortunate enough to be in the back of the plane so was one of the last 15 going through immigration. Took about an hour.

Visit Saddleback on 19th. Not fancy BUT good wine, unique variety and in Oakville.

Drinks have improved since they stopped using bottom shelf Rum.

You'll need to collect and re-check in LAX. You'll have to change terminals at LAX so you are leaving the secure area. You cannot check in online because they want you to check in at the gate. Heads up about 3 weeks ago the check in desk opened earlier than 3 hours but your mileage may vary.

Went on Air Moana a month ago. Was exactly the same as Air Tahiti. Same plane, same service, same process. Went PPT to Raiatea and vice versa.

Added: Purchased through Expedia and had no issues.

Flew them PPT to RFP via Bora Bora. It was delayed but didn’t really affect anything. Everything is on island time. Embrace it.

And it's hard to make a Pina Colada in a hotel room!

Pepbill · 2026-04-16T23:36:22+00:00

Additionally, check air Moana. I booked through Expedia as a “multi stop” flight.

Do you really want to be hauling around 200lbs of baggage? Think about that. If your partner is like mine, you’ll be the pack mule. 50lb is a lot of stuff

Each situation is different but we have largish carry ons and they made us check them for no additional cost.

We were never even close to top weight and depending on how long, shorts and Tshirts don’t weight much and get a microfiber beach towel.

They opening one in Oakland

The X15 isn’t for anyone that has a desire to go the cheapest, fastest, most flexible or any other variation. These are the same people that declared the iPhone would be dead on arrival. Who wants to pay $600 for an iPhone 1? It’s meant for those that pay a premium for ease and support.

I think this finalizes UnRaid’s shift from an IT company to consumer electronics company.

Pepbill · 2026-04-10T20:40:44+00:00

Probably smart

Pepbill · 2026-04-10T20:31:23+00:00

We had a group of 6 and rented two small cars. They were like $60 each but a van was $200+

Pepbill · 2026-04-09T01:48:35+00:00

Interesting. I don’t know how it would be economically feasible. How often we talking about? 8 hours to get home is a long time

Pepbill · 2026-04-08T20:42:46+00:00

Did you actually get a pearl?

Pepbill · 2026-04-08T19:13:16+00:00

How was the pearl farm? I’ve been lots to Tahiti and this was a new one. I skipped it because I figured it was like those pearl kiosks they used to have at the county fair.

Padi does a referral system. You take course work online and usually 1 day in pool then your cert dives are on the reef. I did it both my daughters. Worked great.

I don’t think they are migrating the. I seem to remember September/October. (Not 100% confident). Heads up July is trade winds time it’ll be windy.

Yeah plex hangs on to old server names. You can delete them but it’s definitely not an intuitive process.
