SolarEclipse-450+UVB Unboxing:

A shout out to @AMARE-TECH-Vic for making this happen! Thank you

The outside of the box has on it the shipping label (under the fox farm feeding schedule), DHL paper in plastic, DHL inspection sticker and SE450 sticker with bar code on the side. The bottom of the box had a small puncture through the cardboard box, I wasn't to concerned.

Any worries were subsided when I opened the box to find another box inside. Very nice!

I opened the second box to find the light completely surrounded in foam.

I lifted the top foam piece and set it aside, the contents were very secure with the accessories along the bottom.

The light comes with 2 heavy duty Ratchet Hangers, 2 thick metal Hanging Cables, H Mounting Bracket for mounting multiple systems together, Screws for the Mounting Bracket, 2 Power Cables, and the lenses. Everything minus the Power Cords came wrapped in plastic. The light was completely wrapped in plastic with the UVB bulb on the inside.

On the back of the panel you will find 4 Intake Fans, 4 Mounting Hooks, 3 Switches, 2 Power Inlets, the light information sticker and the warranty seal sticker.
