I have never used it or even heard of it until now but since its two bulbs with two ballasts under one hood, would it not it be better to just have two separate hoods too? I think two separate systems would give you a bigger footprint and is still probably cheaper than there sale price.

personally I think it looks like a bad deal.

IN PARTS (estimated values)

$200 Two 1000 Watt HPS Hortilux Bulbs
$320 Two Powerhouse Ballasts (12" x 8" x 9") with 8 ft. power cord (I'm assuming these are non-digital magnetic core and coil builds based on the size of the ballast)
$60 Two All System Cord Sets
$150 Growzilla Reflector (21" x 21" x 9-3/8")
$30 Tempered glass safety lens (required for UL listing)

TOTAL IN PARTS: $1070

meaning you save $100? $200?

problems:
core and coil ballasts
2000w in one reflector is dumb, should spread them out in two cooltubes
the reflector must be air cooled or it will be hazardously hot with 2000w inside it
the reflector isn't even that big! piece of junk imo
"most powerful light system on the planet" sales junk hype. really bad sales junk hype too.
I would say this is a crappy package. For something a little better I would just get two 1000w digital ballast cooltube packages from HTG and you pay a little more for much better cooling and seperate fixtures.
1000w should be spread out to cover more area. I guess you could have two next to eachother but I think the growzilla would get wayyyy too hot without like like a 500cfm fan, which breaks the "deal" they gave you.

i think its a great reflector. i just wouldn't put 2k watts in it. i have been planing to upgrade to this for a while now , cause what i'm planning on doing is running a 4 or 600 watt hps and the having a 250w or 400mh at the same time on a light track in a closet 8x4 with the light moving your can get the lights closer to the plants and plus the fact of having both spectrums is really just what its all about. dont get those old shit coir coil ballast get some digital ballasts. there is a new type of the growzilla its got the bulbs on 2 seperate ends with air ducting on both sides. right now i got a 400watt hps and a flouro that i move about the room to try and get the plants the most full light spectrum possible and no doubt for big plants a mh is almost needed. plus i wouldn't have to turn the plants all the time to get the buds in the light. the sun isn't stationary nor should be your lights.

I have been using this refllector. One 1000w Hps and MH. Absolutely kicks ass. the foot print is not amazing but it makes plants grow so much. I grow 4 plants under it and get a little over 3 lbs per harvest
