Do you think this is worth the price and will keep the temps down with that hood?

Or should I go cheaper and just get the cool tube instead of hood?

DONT BUY A DUAL SPECTRUM BULB! Get a HPS! Red wavelength is what you need!

I use a S-HPS they work great, they have alittle bit of blue along with a massive amount of red spectrum. I use it for both veg and flower.

Was on my local Gumtree and a guy was selling a Ajustawatt digital dimmable ballast.

Guy came down and showed me it set up with a reflector and bulb etc. Got the ballast for £90! Brilliant deal don't you guys think?
