Sun system has the dankest customer service and the best LEC light. Most big grow stores will allow you to just drop your broken under warranty stuff off and they will handle it from there, usually u get a new one. Even if 3100k bulb is totally beat(which it works, so its not), u can get them new for 80$. so for 380$ you get a hood that has the original Philips Ballast intended for the bulb, plus the remainder of what is probably 2 years left on the warranty.
I would buy them in a heartbeat. Just wash the fuck out of them lol. I am always curious why someone would sell such a badass thing... If they are poor or bad circustance ok, but i mean what if their garden bombed due to russet mites and aphids? u buying a dirty light?? haha

I am still looking for a suggestion on my next project. Before I purchase another 315W I want to make sure it will not be a problem in the tent. Sorry if I have posted these pics in the past but this is the best way to explain my intentions.
I am considering a Stacked (2 - 315W) Vertical 5 Plant Scree grow. I have Vertical experience with a single 400W HPS. Right now I have one 315 and planned on doing a stacked grow with the 315 as the top light and a 400W HPS as the lower light. I believe I can get a good deal on another 315 and if I can I will use two 315's.
I am in a 4x4 tent 7' tall, 6" Max-Fan, three speed, 291 to 420 CFM, inline suction fan beyond the 6" Phrish filter, that is exhausted into the garage, so I believe I have plenty of air movement through the tent. I also have an AC if needed in the room I draw my intake air from. From the lights to the screen I have minimum of 16" and a max of 22". My ballast will be outside the tent so the only heat will come from the lamps themselves. Growing in coco 2 gallon Smart Pots with automated drip irrig. using the BlackHoles emitter.
My question is: Will I have a heat problem with the 2 315W lamps in the tent?
This first photo is of the light stand for the lower light, it is set up for the 400W at present but I can change that to the 315 if I go that direction. If you note the red arrows, I can switch the PVC pipe out to change the height of the lamp. This are 6" rizers in the unit now, can go up to 18", but don't think I will ever need to go over 12".
These are the frames without the net on them, 20 x 40 inch frame, overall height is 54". The 315W that will hang is not in this picture but will hang directly above the bottom lamp.
Pic with the net attached. Note that each individual screen is movable as I stated above, from 16" to 22" from the bulbs.
The fan is not centered on the screen in this pic, but you get the idea.
Thanks in advance!

No one can tell you for sure as there are way too many variables but I can tell you I needed an air cooled reflector for my 600w hps in my 4x4.
And I needed ac in summer to keep the ambient intake air under 72 degrees.
I don't think an open exhaust without air cooling would have worked. Maybe for the 400 alone.
I would use vertical cool tubes like I have seen if I was sure I wanted to do vert in a tent.

So my lights came. How should I arrange them in a 4x8? All in a row or stack 2 next to each other?

Sounds solid to me. 6" fan should be on point.

Could be a bit hot for sure, you gonna have 630W(2150BTU about) of heat in there, i'd suggest a good exhaust and intake system.

I'd go with stacking 2 next to each other. That way you can have the footprints from all 4 lights overlapping for maximum effect. It will leave you with about a foot of unused space on each end of the tent, but growth, and yield from that center 6x4 area will be amazing.
