i gots a cool cab from sunlight sheds and they didnt send the reflector.
i got the 600 watt hps 6 inch bulb though....and i was wondering if any 6 inch reflector would work, and the bulb would screw right in, or if i would have to get a "special" one for my bulb. i dont want to buy one seperate of the inet and have it not fit my bulb, that would suck! and is air cooled recomended for my bulb?...thats what it wouldve came with....but i dont know if its needed or not?
any help is appreciated!
A cool tube would work great in that setup. These lights use what is called a MOG socket, it's about 1" round and ceramic. The voltage to run HID lights is about 277v A/C. A 6" vortex fan can provide room exhaust and take the hot air out of the hood to keep things very cool. You would need a "Y" adapter and even a damper to use one fan for 2 jobs but that is not to expensive and east to setup.
im starting to get really frustrated....i didnt want to have to order a reflector of the inet becuase i dont have anywhere to send it now ( the cab was handed down to me, but not used) and i dont think anywhere around here would sell one....i like the cool tube though....
i have the "cool cab" so i have a hydro setup with fogger....but now im all wanting to sell the thing and make a rubber maid thing with cfl's which arent as good, but would do....
i dont know what to do....all this growing equip. and no reflector...
oh yeah....the cool tube, do you just hook up vent to each side or one side of the tube? just curious...
you can hook it up both ways with it just hooked to one side you will also be using it to pull air from the room.
by hooking to both sides you can pull air from outside the room wich is really only needed if your using co2.
Take a deep breath, man. Ain't a big problem. Worst case scenario is that your mogul socket won't mate well with whatever you use as a reflector- you have to use a differant socket/lampcord.Quote:

Then go to your local hydro store and explain the situation- go in with measurements of how large you can go. You want to deal w/ a local if you can- if you have a fit problem you can return it easily.
In the photos on their website, they've got a SuperSun II in one photo, and a Sunlight Cool tube in another- so I'll bet they're re-tagging Sunlight parts. The ballast-lamp cord isn't standard to any maker I'm familiar with, so you might have to cut out the non-standard cord end and couple it to the socket assembly with a set of twist lock connectors. All of my cordsets are set up like this- allows a lot of flexibility in ballast/reflector combinations, depending on what I wanted to do.
You'll be able to get this up and running for short $, in no time.
i wish there was a hydro store near here....closest is 5 hours!
