Ya I considered the bake arounds for my project as well but I have to buy those items online! and the last time I checked they cost alot more then a glass candle tube.....but hey whats good for me may not be good for everyone else!..........................I based this project of the cool tube I made to show the cheapest way for growers to purchase such a set up!.....no doubt you could use them bake arounds with great results but I believe the results of the glass tube probably are just as good as the bake arounds.....................................

I based my setup on the share fact that I built everything with my cool tube for under$100.00..................but I did look at the bake arounds on the net but would have cost me way to much! considering I needed three of them..........either way thanks for adding to this Thread Zandor!...............
Mellow Man Reviewed by Mellow Man on . Homemade 1000w cool tube! First off let me say! that I asked around this forum several months ago about cool tubes for lights,we all know how exspensive those cool tube's with fans can be!...............by the time you buy the hood with glass $200 then you have to buy the fan and the duct work another $160 or so,it can get exspensive and odds are you will have to order most of it through the mail,which has a shipping and handling rate of another $50 to $80 bucks depending on where you live!......... So believe it or Rating: 5
