Im looking for a 250w reflector hood. It must be air cooled. So the question is, what is the best reflector hood for a small space? The dimensions of the hood can not exceed 1.5ft W by 3ft L.

Currently the front runner is a Euro Hood. Does anybody have any experience with these?

What do you think about this? Big Mike master marketing, once again. These reflectors are heavy, the smallest one is over 5lbs. They dont make them for the dimensions I need though so Im sticking with the Euro for now. Just thought I'd throw this out there.

Sunlight Supply(Super Sun 2) Very good reflector with dimensions of 22 1/2(more like 27) x 13 x8. I'm using this in a small space 2.5x5x5 and the 400w lights up the area surprisingly well given a 5' length. There a little pricey and are around $110 but well worth it.

The more I look at the Euro, the less I like it. The problem I have found is to be changing the light. With the Euro, it doesn't appear that the glass is hinged. For $10 more you could get the Easy Cool, with hinged glass. That's big perk to me. Seems like a better buy to go with the easy cool.
