I think they are outrageously expensive and I prefer to make my own using pyrex bread baking tubes, which usually cost $20 rather then $200.

but what is it exactly that you want to know?

look up pyrex tube on ebay, there's usually an auction for a few every day.

it's a basically just the glass part of a cool tube, originally intended for baking bread in but easily converted to a light cooling system.

I got one a couple weeks ago. I like it so far. The ability to hang it vertically or horizontally is a pretty cool feature. It did drop my room by 3 degrees. gl in getting what you want..

I have a 600w model with wings. Pretty nifty, and no easier way to cool the joint in my opinion.

i take it back, I got the kool tube comp. and two bulbs with the dig. ballast and the fan and the lite hangers for 349. as a kit online. think i will get the same set up for 1200 lite output. but you can get just the cool tube for 129 online. these lites don't get hot u can touch them and put them on top of your plants and not burn them. but u have to use the fan on the end of it to blow the air though it.
