Yeah I know. Cool tubes would probably help a little more, I almost got them, but the price difference between those and the euros and the footprint swayed me. It's just a personal thing, but I don't think that they leave as good of a footprint as some other reflectors. I agree though, it would probably get my temps down a few more degrees. I did see someone's grow here where they were using them vertically and surrounding them, (yes they were running 4 1000 watts) that I loved! I would like to do that some day!
I forget that my house thermostat is at 75 sometimes, and the room I am using is consistently at 77 before I converted it, so running 3 to 5 degrees hotter, I should probably not bitch too much about I guess!
