I've been happy with my lights from the same place. I got a larger one and my only concern for you is enough light. The fixture is super easy to raise and lower. Just do your best to keep your kolas to an even height or else you end up with too close and some too far from the light. I am going to add in some side lighting for next flower (girls are baby seedlings right now). I am thinking T5ho for that. If you look in my journal you can see I got some nice tops, but didn't have enough light penetration to make them as big as I would like. Too bad they turned out to be hermies, but that was because I cloned them off a plant that had turned.

I have the 1400W one from cfl-growlight. The kolas are the main tops - the big bud sites.

The multi-spectrum setup? and what is your size grow room?

I go with 75% 6500k, 25% 2700k for veg and vice versa for flower. Mixed spectrum is just a matt of what bulbs you throw in there. My grow area is about 4x4x6. I almost bought the one you did but called up and spoke to the owner (cool dude).

You'll be fine for veg but I would worry about flower. How many plants are you planning to put in there. I find 3-4 about my max to be comfortable.
