you need a 25" distance from the light to the canopy using DE bulbs with OEM hood. This is what they recommend. I don't need to cool my lights the room's environment is controlled to keep the temp below 81F lights on and above 72F lights off. I don't like large temp swings.. They do get hotter then SE bulbs. Both gavita,E-Pap can go up to 1150w. I have fired a DE bulb using my SolisTek Matrix. I used my PAR meter it was much different from the OEM ballast. I know the Matrix does not provide the 400V the Double Ended EL bulbs need to run properly. Maybe this has been fixed ???
