smoking and usage

I am setting up my grow room its 8ftx3ft with 8ft cielings and Im thinking of using twin 600hps cool tube lights with a 6in vortex fan cooling the lights.

Right now Im setting up 8 5gal bucket flood and drain system, is this going to be enough light for the space. I only want to buy lights once, I dont want to have to upgrade in a year or two. I want to set this grow room up as a permant fixture of my home, so I dont want to cut to many corners. Any suggestions are welcome.

I'd say they're pretty nice

those wont work effecently.. you need something with the lights side by side.. more light is put out "sideways" from the bulb than front to back..

I have dual cool tubes also ( only 400w x2 though)

here's a good 2 light set up for a "wide" room

Thanks for the advice mordgrow, that does make sense. What about the reliablity of running two lights on one ballest. Do dual light ballest have more problems?

well your obviously having a single point of failure, and that 1 unit will be pretty warm i bet.

I dont see an issue with running 1 ballast for 2 lights though. if its cheaper that way go for it

mine is dual digital balasts and i've had no issues either.
