Hi, welcome :)

What size is your grow space?

I really like my sealed hood, but I have a small grow space and being able to manage the heat really helps. A bit more info will help the members decide if the light is a worthwhile investment or just a reasonably priced light shade and ballast bundle.

Hey mate,

I have a 600w powering my [first] 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m grow; that's a 4x4feet tent. It's proving to be an awesome light, but, at this size grow space or smaller I'd want a cool-tube or sealed light shade/hood with proper ducting, etc, to manage the heat. The one you posted a link to just has the light bulb exposed and reflected down, I don't know how you'd keep your grow space cool with just that setup but I'm sure the others can advise...

600's are for sure a worthwhile investment, especially if you are moving from a cfl. Get good air extraction though as you will see a massive difference in temps.

yes well i got the cfl for temp control (and was new) but i wanted to step it up.... so i went with this deal on ebay ..... i got one of those cheap 20$ 240cfm can fans with adjustable controller so i think ill kick it into high gear and get a fan to push some that heat up and away.....but i knew heat was going to be a problem... ty for input

600's put out a good amount of heat.....a fan is just moving hot air.....you need cool air to offset the heat.

:peace:

yesh i noticed that with just my 250w cfl....so i exhaust the heat into my room and get cold air from the bottom of the same room if that make sence cause i have an a/c in here so it works just fine when i figured out the whole pushing hot air around....also i might dial back the watts down a lil or do u think that will matter any? ty for input bro

If you have enough air movement you will be fine. And with cool a/c air coming in that should offset things well. Only way to find out is set up and give it a whirl. Good luck.

They're good. As expected I could only use it for about 2 days then had to go into tubs to start slowing the process. But I had way too much bud to start off in the tubs so it was a good purchase.

We way overdid it this year and tried to put all of that,in there. It didn't work. Even hanging the second row (no pic) it wasn't enough room. We tossed about 10 on the burn pile, there was just no room. I have unlimited growing capabilities outdoors, but all of my processing is done in the multipurpose room.LoL, A.KA. The garage and un-official Oregon 600w Club House. anyway, Thanks for the info.
