Hey man thanks for the info. Yea I have read about the heat with 1000s. But if you can control the heat I have seen them put out some Humongous Colas...Hey man I would avoid a 1000 watt just from experience. they run super hot and the lumens to watt ratio is not as good as the 600. If you want to run a 1000 watts run a 600 overhead and 400 watts in cfl for the lower branch lighting. 400 watts in cfl is a rediculous amount of bright bulbs!

think of having one of these in the lower 4 corners of your grow box
Its funny you mention putting light in the cabinet corners. That would be awesome...I almost did that a month ago. I was going to put a 4' 54watt T5 HO in each corner or along the side walls about 6" above the pots...I changed my mind because I hope to have a room to grow in this summer and would not have a use for the extra T5 lights so why spend the money. It suck being mature...
I can never leave things alone. I want MORE BIGGER BETTER FASTER lol
