OK, I absolutely need a cool tube, I do not want to build it myself for security reasons and I have some questions about them:

1 â?? I already have a 1000W HPS kit (Ballast, Reflector and Bulb). Can I still use them with a cool tube kit or do I need to buy a new ballast, reflector and HPS light?

2 â?? How expensive will this be considering the equipment I already have?

3 â?? My reflector covers a area of 5 feet by 5 feet â?¦ Can a cool tube cover the same area?

Thanks for the help.

you just gotta change the mogul socket on the end of the cord . your ballast etc... will still work . my cooltubes were about 100.00 each. try cheaphydroponics.com

There are several on eBay as we speak! Go for around 70.00 to 100.00 Buck's! Great investment with the 1000 watter in a small grow area.Just gotta change the mogul socket! No biggie!

Just tried to look up cool tube under FAQ and got nothing. Perhaps a link?
