Cool Tube 6 " or Cool Sun 6" Reflector
Im not really sure but they look mostly the same; the Cool Tube (High Tech Garden Supply) has external reflectors to focus the light more so it seems on par with the Cool Sun 6" (High Tech Garden Supply), but i would go with the Easy Cool 6 over the cool tube mainly because of ease of bulb replacement. Heck, what do I know, I'm stuck with a crappy Lightwing reflector atm... :wtf:

The Lumenaire 6 is wider.

With this setup they're priced about the same at DH as HTG...

I used to run a 6" cooltube, yes it was great at taking away the heat. But it had some down sides. Cooltubes create hot spots and dont really spread the light. They are great at focusing in 1 area but if you have 9 pots in 3x3 grid only the middle one will get the punch.
Just get a nice sealed reflector with 6" air flanges to spread that light some more. Even better if it comes with a diffuser directly behind the bulb against the reflector.
:hippy:

Hey Turbo, with a 600w and a 430cfm fan do you have a carbon filter hooked to that as well?

I think it will have enough cfm to still filter and cool the light just fine. The only thing im sad about is not being able to cool my ballast that way anymore.
