They are one power cord with 2 switches. I was gonna order them but I want more control.
Unless Sunlight Supply has changed the way they build their fixtures, they have 2 cords and 2 switches. This allows you to use 2 timers. At least that's how my 6 bulb fixture is built. I do know that the same fixtures that are about 6 years old had a single cord and 2 switches.

I got 2 of these. only 1 switch on the 24" model. good buy all the same. they use workhorse 5 ballasts. gonna rip the fixtures apart and mount the reflectors and bulbs inside a hood for my 60 gal and then use icecap660 s for ballasts.
