[QUOTE=maariic;6693814][B][B] I don't know if anyone has tried this but i hope that I am the first one. I got the idea from thread where man was using glass cooking tube that can be ordered from E-bay. I decided to make my own glass tube from 2L beer bottle.

Stuff that was needed:
Bottle;
Wool string;
Acetone or some other fast burning liquid;
Lighter;
Bucket with cold water;
Camera;
Gloves;
Aluminum tape;
ventilation tubes
metal connector for ventilation tubes;
socket for your HPS and some metal plate where you can attach it.

To start you have to roll the wool string around the bottle at the place where you want to cut it. Then pour the acetone to the string that it gets wet. Light it up and turn the lighting part up that the rest of the bottle doesn't heat from the flames. As the liquid has burned up put the bottle immediately in cold water. Heated part will fall off. Make the same process with the other end of the bottle. Now you have nice glass tube. The edges are quite sharp. Be careful.

[/B][/B][B]Attach the bulb socket [/B][B][B]to the metal plate and put it in the place in metal tube connector. I used wood screws to fix it in the place. Now you can tape the whole thing to your glass tube. Don't forget to connect the wire for your bulb. Later tape the ventilation tubes to your cool tube and put the whole thing in you cab. Some reflector wouldn't harm as well. I cut off piece from the big one and taped it to the tube.
Finally I attached one carbon filter from cooking hood and bathroom fan to the end but it looks too weak. I will need some more powerful fan to blow through those filters and cool the HPS. But the idea is clear. Homemade cool tube is ready and works.
