Has any one bought this light from HTGSUPPLY.COM for only $119.00?

Any problems with heat? Quality?

I am concerned with heat mainly, My CLOSET is 5.5(h) 2(w) & 5(h) roughly.

I can add fans to blow on the Ballast and in the closet, but I woder if I will need a EXHAUST fan of

I bought a 400wHPS from insidesun.com for $80 i believe and i think its doing pretty well with my grow. You can do upgrades for like a Horilux bulb or a MH conversion bulb as well if thats something you were interested in for not much more. But you can wait to see what other members recommend you as well. :) Happy Light Hunting...

I have a very similar light that is 400 Watts and the heat is fine with a fan blowing over the light fixture and then another small exaust fan pulling the hot air out. Space is about 4' Wide x 2' Deep x 4'6 Tall

Good Luck

To be honest with you I dont know the exact dimensions but its about 3'wide x 3'deep and about 4' 1/2 tall. The AC runs at 70 all day and there is one fan blowing directly at it. I havent encountered any issues with the heat and the bulb. There is great air circulation thru out the room. ;)
