3 footer T5s are available with feeting in the market. Brought those and joint the wires.

@ Sam i got them here in chandigarh from a electrical shop for Rs 500 2ft T5 with twin tubes and company was Oreva. I am sure pricing would be lesser or same in Delhi as well.

It included the entire setup which includes rod and chok as well.

You can get these from Bhagirat Place. Last time I pay Rs. 280 per fitting.

It has everything except reflector. You have to arrange some reflective material only.
