Yeah, we do parking lots, underground utilities, excavate and backfill foundations. Done a ton of restaurants like Wendy's, McDonalds, Chick Fill A, and box store type places. I love it, but the personnel drama is retarded.

I was looking at these. They r driver free. Says 50 but description says 30w but they have 30w that say 30w in description. So the 50w could be 50. What do you think about theseScreenshot_2017-06-24-20-39-53.png

How hot does the light get? Does it need a cooling fan on it?
It heats up...not like burn your fingers hot. The clip fan blows up at it, and the inline fan pulls quite a bit of air. Man, it has cooled down in my room so much without that dehumidifier spewing hot air, and now it can keep me right at 50-60% humidity. My Bloom stays around 40% with the big lights on.

I bet I get that space down to 80 or lower.

I want to take the glass out, but she's in there pretty good.

When I read it it said Power - 20w.....??

I haven't really learned to wire this stuff yet. I'm really hoping plug n play works. $50 for 100w, a reflector, a big heat sink, an adjustable mount, and a cord...it's hard to beat.
