not sure how the water system works...if the entire light is surrounded by water I'd be worried about light refraction and it's innability to be focused on the desired spot below.

Now if that hood helps then I guess it would be fine, but I'm unsure of how much I would trust it, if anything breaks, water + electricity = bad

[spliffy777]

yes that was my worry to. water and electric is never good ,but would they sell somthing that was unsafe .i think it comes with like a cut off breaker to.if it worked and it didnt heat the water 2 fast . i think ill be getting some . hopfully som1 has 1 and can let me no if they work or not .

Where are they coming from?

If they have some sort of emergency shut off then I would say look into it a bit more before making a purchase. Dealing with water as a coolant is dangerous but probably more effective than an air cooled tube.

Still, I would recommend an air cooled tube anyway because I don't know the reliability of water cooled tubes...

i saw it on ebay it was a link to a shop i thought i saved it in my favs but .cant see it there now must have been stoned lol . ill try find it again and post link to there shop

I've always heard people say that buying lights off of ebay is dangerous...they advised to buy from shops online, not ebay

I heed warnings of people on the site

Idk man, it's up to you no matter what.

Do some more research on lights and see which one you think would be better.

There's nothing wrong with an air cooled light and they're cheaper I believe.

See what you like the best

Stay Sunny :thumbsup:
