doooo eeeeeet.
especially now that it's cold out. if you need to, you can always switch back to your cfl's when the weather gets warmer. it's way easier to fiddle with excessive heat management in the winter.

hps (high pressure sodium) is a type of hid (high intensity discharge) lamp. mh (metal halide) is another type of hid that growers are familiar with.

did i mention dooo eeeeeet?
trust her...

i have to change my pants anytime i drop by your thread mellowkitty
:-O

Does this mean I need to go be nosey on mellowkitty's thread? hehehe

Aye I hear you, mellow. But I'm also concerned with the extra costs, electric, new bits etc, and the noise of the extra fan too, whereas I can manage with the little PC fans I have going now and the low consumption CFL's. Installing the new bulb could potentially mean I'd have to update my air flow system to go through both cabs... that's long for a stoner lol

I'm so far 60% sold on the idea.

I'm right with you on this cucumbers. I know the benefits of hid's but the heat and what's needed to combat that heat are an issue in a small stealth cab. you should definitely check out her thread. i'd say its a top 5 on riu.

ahhhhhhh man ... cumbers! .... you gotta do it!.... vent-shment .... you only gotta move between 2-3 cubic whatnots per hour..... lol and get your carbon filter sorted. ( can/ruc fans suck better then blow also), and my only other pearl of wisdom "Get a new bulb"
