homemade cool tube for MH

[harris7]

i just made a homemade cool tube for my HPS from a bake a round pyrex thing. from Zandors idea in the FAQ. it is a really good idea

problem is that a MH is a way bigger bulb and dosn't fit in the 3.5 inch bake a round.

Has anone else made cool tubes from other things?
any suggestions of how to make one?

thanks

I just got a bird feeder. It's a plastic tube only about 4"

People also use lanterns and glass candle tubes. I saw big candle tubes at WalMart for $15-20, they might be big enough for an mh. The ones at walmart were a little fancy, if you shop around you should be able to find something a little cheaper/simpler to use

ya thats a good call. The MH's are huge though like 5 inch across, so their hard to accommodate

You are using a plastic tube to hold your light?

What if the fan stops working?
