htgs hoods are cheap garbage. for that price you might as well buy a quality one. i bought a hydrofarm aircooled xtrasun with cord for $10 cheaper than the more expensive one you linked. if you have hydrofarm or a quality hood next to those hgts hoods you can tell hgts isnt constructed good. everyone thinks they got good prices but if you look around you can find quality equipment, it may be 10-20$ more but you get quality shit. i had a htgs aircooled hood and it was suppose to be sealed but had air leaks and the reflector inside discolored...

cigarettes42 Reviewed by cigarettes42 on . HTG EasyCool 6 vs. Euro Air Cooled Hood I am trying to find a hood to cool a 400W HPS. The space is going to be 5' (L) x 2' (W) x 6' (H). I was originally going to go with a cool tube from HTG but read that you get better reflectivity from an air cooled hood, so I am trying to decide between HTGSupply's EasyCool 6 ( High Tech Garden Supply ) or their Euro Air Cooled Hood which is a little cheaper ( High Tech Garden Supply ). Does anyone have experience with either of these hoods? Which would you guys suggest between these two Rating: 5
