Hi GaGrown,

I had one of these at first, but when it came time to fire it up, it was bad (even though it was tested at the store before I left). The store replaced it with a different one, and I never got to see how well this ran. The store owner talked it up a lot. Said that the reflector built in helped a lot. I'm not sure, but I thought he said it ran cooler too.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to try it out, so I can't help you. But, I'll be watching your thread to see if it is worth it to check it out for my next grow.
