Anyone familiar with the Vivosun air cooled hood? I have a 600w mh/hps I want to use for a very grow. Was looking into the bulbs and read that not all can hang vertical there is a bulb model number that has specific letters designated to its mounted orientation, although after extreme examination my bilb nor the boxes they are in have any such number or even mention orientation. Although with that said they do mount horizontal in the hood, so should I assume they are horizontal only?
Opinions greatly appreciated, thanks.

i've seen exactly two vertical only bulbs in the last 25 years. both were metal halide. the mercury vapor (which will not work for growing) were generally vert or hor, but i've only seen vertical only hps bulbs online.

and i'm an electrician. :)

Vivosun air-cooled hoods are not horizontal only. I think it's ok to hang them vertically. the brand has very good customer service, you can ask them by email.
