wow, that's a fan.. lol.. Not that you don't know but.. you know how to evenly cool all those lights so that you don't get cold ones on one end and hot ones on the other end?
You know, I was told how to do it before and I thought I understood but it's been a while...It's supposed to be one of the simpler ways too, right? Mind refreshing my memory or teaching me for a sec. in case I'm thinking of something else? I only have 2 rows of 3(6x1K in flower) and 1 HID in veg. The only issue is that the intake is at one end(ground level) and so is the exhaust but at the peak of the roof.

This is how I understand it works. An HVAC guy might know better but.. you have your intake go into a manifold or one large long tube with T's and reducers so that they spit off at 90 deg angles one for every hood you have only the last one will just be an elbow. Then they all go across your lights at the same time. In parallel not in series. Idea is that the cold air only crosses one hood one time. Then have the same thing on the other end that takes the hot air out. It's a lot fo tubes and elbows but you'll have even cooling.

An HVAC guy might help by knowing how to constrict the tube to make sure you have enough pressure for even flow across the hoods.

Yeah, that's the way I understood it too...just with "Y's" instead of "T's". I'm not sure it would work well the way I'm runnig the rows of 3 hoods in parallel along with the fixed placement of the intake/exhaust. The last light in each row will only have any extra heat from the first 2 in it's run and the hoods are 8"XXXL's.

This place has a great price on everything and if your anywhere near Riverside CA i suggest you check out their store, its awesome. Its better to call because if your spending a decent amount of money they give a standard 10% off

Discount has been in it for a long long time. One of the first on the net. Only thing is they are owned by C.A.P. and or R&M Supply I don't know how it works.. that's not bad really but like most makers they can't under cut their customers so some of their prices on things they make might not be the lowest. Also, because of that they can't sell Sun Light Supply stuff. Sunlight has the XXXL they have a XXXtreme .. lol They are a great company though and are from the old school. You know they built a building just to have 420 as their address? ;)

I think it might be for like 20 light runs or something.. I just remember it from basic electronics. It's the same way you distribute power evenly or the same way you run drip lines.. :)

Ok, I have looked through dozens of pages. Maybe someone here can help me. The tent is 8 sq ft, and I am keeping the 350 ish watts of CFL in there for additional lighting.

What I am asking is this... I am looking for a HPS light. Somewhere close to 400w I'm thinking. I know nothing of brands and such of these lights. I want something GOOD, but I'm not asking for top of the line stuff. What brands would you recommend, and what brands should I stay away from even if my life depended on it? hehe. Also, Where would you recommend for the best deals?

Thank you. So this is a good product that will last and not have too many problems?

i dont got that one, i got the one with a magnetic ballast for 120 thats a 400w. i upgraded the reflector to a cool tube. the only problem is that its hard wired into the ballast so you would have to do a little wiring.. not hard though.

I've said it a few times, maybe in this thread too but to me your lights are very important. This is a tool that you want to be reliable, safe, and worth your money. The right investment can last you years of trouble free work. So, to me that means brand names that I know and I know will be around tomorrow to hold up their end of the deal.




To me, I don't know that name but the site is well known.

Let's look at the cost.

Ballast only they want 184.95

Not to flog a dead horse but my favorite site has a good one for 142.95 and that's 400/250 digital made by Sunlight Supply. Or get the new cool ballast on the market the Solis Tek 250/400 for 139.95...

It's a good time for lights.. these are very cheap.
