Kevin Any pics of your setup?
I'd like to compare and see if this is a risk worth taking. If you're having no problems, show me the way!

Dont tell me no way because I have done it. As long as your hood is sealed and your sucking enough air thru and exhausting outside the tent or room no problems. Light can be 12 inches from glass no worries.

Nice. Thanks for the fast reply.
Can you tell me how you applied the 1000w vs you 400w? i see that you were using both ballasts.
