I got rid of my old Hamilton hood and went with lumenmax reflectors on an HQI ballast. What a world of difference despite only having 2 MHs going now instead of 3. It's well worth the upgrade.

I was thrilled to discover the hqi ballasts that come with the hamilton hoods uses the same plug as the lumenmax reflectors, no extra wiring needed
