I have a 400w core/coil ballast, about 6 years old, and it doesn't raise the ambient temperature of my room whatsoever. I keep a small 10" fan trained on the vent holes every time the light is on, and it never gets hot.

I stand by my statement. This is a good deal. Were it a 1k system, I'd be worried about heat. But even then, I also own a 1k digital system, and it stays very cool. As it is, a good active exhaust in the room would easily take care of any heat problems.

Jack: Don't worry about the extra $20, bro. That light is a good deal for the money. Just remember to spend about as much on ventilation as you do on the light, and you'll be just fine! :jointsmile:
