This is not the first time I have purchased one of these reflectors. They are very well built, and with the 6" size it's easy to move enough air to keep the bulb heat away from your plants. These are versatile as they can be used either horizontal or vertical. I would highly recommend this fixture to anyone who wants a compact glass tube type reflector.

Bought three of these lights because it seemed like a great improvement over the heavy metal reflectors I had been using. This is a case , I think, of having a great product-almost. It is light (pun intended) and compact, which makes it great for small spaces. Here's the hang up, It's the hang up cable. They really took off their thinking caps when they came up with the cable and crimp system that's on their. It feeds through the metal collar so can't be removed without cutting the cable which I wouldn't advise as it probably voids your warranty. So, here we are with cables that hang the light a minimum of 8" below whatever you are hanging from. Add a few for a pulley to raise and lower your light and whatever size pot you are using. I don't know about you but that doesn't leave me with all that much free air space for dangling. Don't get me wrong, I like the cooltubes themselves! Ok, OK, there is just one other thing that isn't even really a problem for me but could be for you. It's the collars themselves. the one on the socket side has the socket mounting bolt heads through the collar. The light plug comes out on that collar also so, it is obvious they did not intend you to attach to that end. That's fine if you are pulling air from the room to the outside to cool the room but, and here's where the caps came off again, what if you want to pull outside air in, cool the light and send it back out. All they had to do was give a little more length to the collar on that end. They could use the extra metal they saved on the shorter hangers!
