had a vision few months back, when i was researching lighting solutions
i am going to run 4x1000W in a single tent, cooling is important
was looking into every possible solution out there, couldn't find one i like
had to build something myself to get the perfect lighting system
here's what came out


dont lie to us man!...

Those arent done!

What happened to installing the light defusers (super spreader)


.... I bet you thought i didnt see those...lol....


Come on man... find a way to get them on there.

was just tired last night and forgot to slap them on for the posing
i went with 8" diameter tubes so i can fit the spreaders in there
they're here, ill snap a few later on today for you guys

Ya know, I was going to say something about the lights but wanted to keep my mouth shut - I am glad I did ;)

I was just asking my guy at the hydro shop about cool tubes. He said he had one going and disliked it because it seemed to focus the light along the bottom of the tube and create hot spots. I guess that is where the diffuser comes in?

yep
factored all of these in, when envisioned this few months back
the reason i went with 8" and not 6" (as most do) diameter on the tubes
the super spreaders fits inside the tube and eliminate the hot spot

the best of both worlds incorporated in one design

Oh!

I use 600 HPS in a 6" cooltube with a medium wing and no diffuser...
Never had an issue... though I cannot say I have the appropriate equipment to look for hot spots...

Seems like it would be over kill to have the cool tube AND the diffuser...

Are you not concerned about blocking the light ? and yes I am familiar with the product...

Sorry for my dumbass comment on the diffuser there... but I have heard heated arguments both for and against...:confused:

Best of Luck...

Thanks GypsyBush
2 cent's, they can always be removed if they don't deliver
i am more then convinced though they will work perfectly for my application
as for light loss I'm not to worried; ill be running 4x1000 in a closed tent (10x10), i am actually expecting light loss
my concept eliminate as much loss as possible, and evenly distribute the existing

Fuckin A+++++... how much on those 3 items?

I still cant beleave you have both the dr240 and the dr300... I got the wife hooked on this grow... Im gonna expand Soon...LOL
Thanks Franco
you can find the prices for these online at every hydro shop
it can be made cheaper, if you go with the Cool Tube instead of the Sun Tube
or even cheaper, DIY Cool Tube and the Adjust a Wing and spreader of your choice
i just put them all together

yea... gotta love those DR's
