Thats the one flaw with that otherwise great design. Noone can get hold of a bake a round.

i think they are not made anymore so you must get them on ebay or at a second hand store. i just got 1 for 4bucks on ebay! they are a bit skinny imo at 4inches, i also have a 6inch cool tube which will hold a 1kw hps bulb, the 4inch is too narrow for such a large bulb! the bake-a-round is great for a 400hps cooltube.

How much does the glass affect the spectrum of the light?

the storm lamp "chimneys" are great for low wattage cooltubes but again they are too skinny for a 1kw bulb. there must be enough space between the bulb and tube for air to flow freely and bulb must not touch glass at all. i tried a "chimney" for a 400hps but it was too narrow so i got the bake-a-round. when i upgaded to the 1kw hps i had to buy a 6inch cooltube because there was not enough room in the bake-a-round for the cooltube to work properly. good luck building your cooltube,. remember 1000watts is alot of power when confined in a small space. you must use the correct equipment and wire everything correctly and neatly to lower risk of fire. i tried a diy cooltube for my 1kw bulb but decided to spend the 100bucks on a "real" cooltube. has anyone else here used a diy cooltube for a 1000watt bulb? i have seen alot of diy 400's and smaller but not any 600's or 1000's.

i just saw that linked thread from above. if you could find a large chimney like that one you would be in business. i looked for a while but was only able to find smaller ones. the only thing is that there is no way the fan that that guy was using had enough power to cool that bulb. i had the same fan for my 400hps cooltube but it didn't have enough power so i had to hook the duct directly to the main exhaust fan, not the best solution but it got me through the grow.

good call! 1kw is alot of light to screw around with in a closet. i have 2 young children so i am very careful about fire hazards. my grandfather is an electrician so i am able to make sure everything was always wired the safest way possible.
