Just thought I would share my wednesday project. I just got my econolight-150 watt HPS and decided to try to rewire for a remote ballast. I am the farthest from an electrician, but it was simple. I also made a ghetto bat-wing reflector out of a piece of aluminum from Home Depot.

Light - 32.48 (shipped)
Aluminum - 2.48
Brackets for L-shape - .38
Odd bolts - .62
Old Ext. cord - Free

Total: 35.96 - can't beat that

I know the wing is pretty crappy, but it'll do the trick.

Absolutley...the globe will be gone when I start growing. Thanks for the reminder though.

not too shabby, u coulda spent a bit more time on the reflector to make it more purrrrdy, lol , but ur right it should do the job.

Good looking plant man. It's amazing what CFLs will do for ya. I wan't to try the scrog...just finishing some research on the best methods.

I f*cking cut myself like 5 times trying to cut and bend that crap. I'm hoping I can use this and not have to use major exhaust...I only plan on using a few pc fans. Think that'll be good?

from what i understand it depends on where you do it. As long as you have enough circulation and can keep the temps in order its fine i guess. But ofc dont take my word for it just my 2c

i cant see a 150 watt getting to hot, I dont have exhaust and i run a 400 watt

i wonder what temp differnce would be w/the globe on?

I think the globe plays less of a role regarding temps and more-so with the lumens. I heard somewhere that glass can reduce the lumen penetration by roughly 10%. Considering it's only a 150 watt, I need all the lumens I can spare.
