This model is designed as a standalone unit. It comes with its own power cord and is intended to be used individually for your growing space.
The product description mentions both the T5 fixture and heat mat features; however, this specific listing is for the T5 Strip Fixture. Please verify your package contents to ensure you have the necessary equipment for your setup.
