I've been thinking about upgrading from my 600w adjust a wings to an air cooled 1000w hood. This would give me greater yield wouldn't it? Some people say that open hoods give you a large increase in yield, but I think the amount may be exaggerated.

I'd rather have two 600w over one 1000w generally....

just upgraded from 600w air cooled hood...to basic gull wing 1000w....life is good!!!!!!!!!!! if u can keep it cool...u don't need hood...my 1000w setup fits inside 600w hood perfect (just the guts) I thought it would be better,,i paid for that hood! lol the hood makes the light more narrower,,,gull wing spreads light OUT better...need cover more area
