Hey guys hers a dumb question As like most who are on a budget I wanted to know before I bought. Out of all the different type of reflectors which are the best. I see that the wing types are the cheapest but I have heat issues so I am trying to get an air cooled setup. My closet is basically a square but it has 3 corners and the last is kidde-corned (best way to describe is it looks like the superman outline the S sits in) But roughly if it was a square it would be 38 x 38 I want to get a 400 w system that I will add with my 2 150w to make a total of 700 w Any suggestions or pointers would be excellent
700watts is quite a bit for a "roughly" 3x3 area. Not to mention hard to fit all of that. I would just use a 400w light and nothing else. You will want to save the limited space you do have for plant growth. These are really popular and work really well. I use this same hood: Hydrofarm DA6AC4S Daystar 6" with 400W bulb extension

Thanks now I'm really confident Ya I know it's a lot I was also thinking 250 with both 150s on the side, I just my light to be even l across.... If it makes any sense to you lol, sometimes I don't explain thing correctly from my brain to hand so my explanations are sometimes.... Weird lol
agreed with everything here. personally I use this one but you don't have space for this guy, so go with dudes link or something very similar.
That hood is a MONSTER! We just got one about a month ago and I was blown away by the size.... It's HUGE.

I'm sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm interested in hearing more about that Magnum XXL. It looks like a beast, can I get some more input on it? How is the light footprint compared with a normal sized reflector? Is it worth it?
