Lighthouse tent setup

So all in all this tent was a snap to assemble. Its directions were simple and easy to follow and the materials seem rugged. I noticed essentially 0 light leaks from the inside after getting shut inside it. I'm pretty happy with it. I think my girls will enjoy their new home as well.Total cost for tent: $215 us dollars. Its a 4x4x7. I'm hoping having a nice enclosed space will help combat the frigid temps. All I need to do now is figure out some way to safely raise/lower the light. I've seen some folks use milk crates which could work well I think. Maybe someone with some more experience than myself could alleviate my only concern. Is the heat produced from the top of a 400watt hps inside a hood/reflector enough to combust the material above it? Lol.

 

Only from the inside out. I had someone zip me inside with every outside light on and couldn't see anything.

One of the bottom corners on the back side where the double layer doesn't quite stick up by itself glows a little.

 

I wish I had a better understanding of what side was the front when I put it all up. It was really my only beef with the tent. I put it all up and after a couple days it donned on me I've been using the back of the tent as the front. Whoops.

When it comes down to cleaning I'm going to take everything out and rotate the tent 180 so I can use the front. Its got clips at the top which I imagine will hold the doors open when needed.

 

Exactly... I followed the connect a to b instructions it came with. But the last picture was a transparent 3d box with lines and dashes... Wth? A single picture of the finished tent setup could have saved me some frustration. Lol
