Hey folks, been doing a bit of searching, and I'm not coming up with anything definitive when it comes to exactly, (if there is an exactly) what size cool tube to run each wattage of HPS bulb in. I see that its pretty common for people to run 6" cool tubes with their 600 watters, but, what I'm trying to find is something that says it is either OK, or NOT OK to run a 600 watt bulb in a 4" cool tube....
Believe me, I considered contacting the major manufacturers directly, but, frankly I don't trust that they won't try to just sell me the next size up.
Not to be rude, but please, I'm asking that only people with first hand experience with the matter, or at least someone who knows for sure what their talking about, respond to this post. I can give an educated guess as well as the next guy, so "I would think", and, "I bet if you..." aren't what I'm looking for.
Again, please don't think of me as a jerk, I really just need only the best info at this point.
I'm off to do some more reading, and I'll actually update this thread myself with any pertinent info I come across.
Thanks in advance to any who take the time to reply
