Recommend a light system

I'm trying to buy some ballasts with 2 openings for tubes to connect each ballast, so that i can directly vent all the heat through one long tube. the ballasts i currently have don't have the holes and id rather just buy new ones, so is there a certain brand of ballast that has the holes im talking about? the hydro store by my house has a few ballasts but none with holes so im going to have to order online if i cant find them on craigslist or something...


the point


I need 3 interchangeable ballasts for 1000w bulbs with holes for cooltubes, does hortilux possibly make these? where do i buy these? lookin to spend under 900

The ballast are the boxes that fire up your lights . What you need is an air cool hood with the flanges attached . Mine has 6" flanges and glass to insulate .

oh wow man really? the ballast is the power box thing? i thought it was the hood. In that picture, is that the ones you have? That is probably what I'm going to get, how much are they??

yes , this is the one I use . It sells for about $130 dollars when not on sale . Look around . Any brand of this type will work great . This just happens to be the brand my hydro shop has . They are definitly worth the few extra dollars . It will come with a socket and cord . You will still need to buy your ballast seperate .
