Check out this hood http://growershouse.com/phantom-315w-ceramic-metal-halide-cmh-reflector
With this Kit you can air cool it http://growershouse.com/phantom-lens-system-phr3150-reflector-lens-w-flange-cooling-kit

My hydrofarm(looks like that one in the link) has a kit for glass and ventilation. But I found no need in my application. The heat is much less even in a '4x2' tent. I have 7' tents with both exhaust and intake fans.

Sweet, it is ok to air cool a 315 CMH? i was going to put this conversion kit in my 6 inch block buster and air cool like i do the rest of my lights. What do i google to find your thread?

Sunlight supply makes air cooled LEC reflectors.

I am thinking of converting my Blockbusters too. But I think I would buy the Galaxy ballasts and the mogul adapter.

I am going to have to grow under the first new one for a while though before I ditch the Hortilux super HPS.

I use 7x big kahuna ac hoods (4x flower, 3x veg). You can cool a 315 bulb w/o any issues. They make a t9 and t13 bulb. One is single jacket for ac hoods, other is double jacket for open hoods.

That's the double jacket bulb.

Double glass jacketed lamp is rated for either open fixture use (without glass lens) or enclosed fixture use (with glass lens). Bi-pin lamp base is compatible with all Sun System® LEC® Brand Technology Fixtures.

Does that mean it's ok to air cool this light?

It will be fine. It is just also rated for open use.

The 400 watt one available at HTC is single jacket but the 315 you got has a better spectrum.

@DemonTrich please correct me if I am wrong.

You can ac any bulb unless it specifically states not to ac it. They only offer the philips agro bulb in double jacket. We all (well most) ac the 315 bulbs.
 
With how affordable they are, there is really no reason NOT to use the Phillips Bulbs for the 315's which have already been tested and proven to be the best by many sales outfits and growers alike. The rest, ballast, reflectors, etc is really all personal preference. Just make sure you get a solid ballast and run the Phillips bulbs and you're GTG.

My $0.02

Open Rated lamps are okay. Make sure you get them if you run your lamps outside of a sealed, glass enclosed fixture.
