i currently have a 400w hps that i bought from htg, and i was considering of buying the euro reflector. how will that compare to the cool tube you have right now? i want to buy a cool tube but i think i would have to do some wire configuration and i think it costs more too. you think it would be good if i get the euro reflector for my current 400w hps? i'm considering this due to a heat issue i have. would this work if i were to add an exhaust fan to the euro reflector. i have the same exhaust fan as you do (that green one). thanks in advance.

Any sealed reflector should stay cool if properly ventilated. I personally dont like cool tubes unless you are doing vertical. They have the lowest reflection rate of almost anf refector. If size is a concern, you can get a SuperSun II which is fairly small and reflects light with the best of them and if you shop around, you can find them for just over $100. I got mine for $110 and have great results with them. Here's a link for refrence.

This is some thread, although the word adventure is probably more accurate. Tom, the pictures you post truly make my mouth water. +rep well deserved!

I have a Vivosun air cooled sealed light it came with a timer and both MH and HPS bulb with ducting for 150 $ on eBay... my temps are at 70 with 45-50% humidity running fans and inline fan 24 hrs.my grow tent is 3x3x6. I hope this helps I have an extra 400 watt air cooled tube that I don't use it also has a ballast with it I got ballast and hood for 100$ on LAGardens... Made in China ... It has a 6" tube so it will stay cool
