Thanks PGW, very informative as usual. Trying to decide but thinking of just forgetting the flip and just running more tables. Also can't decide if I want to pull air from outside through the hoods and exhaust into the crawl-space, or go open hood, w/ no active cooling on hoods. Just control the whole trip w/ a/c and dehumidifier. Get more lumens than with glass n sealed hoods... IMVHO

Appreciate your first hand knowledge.

Will put this in practice for myself as soon as I can come up w/ the bread-about 2 large-for a mini-split w/ inverter tech.

Sorry What What not trying to hijack your thread, just also have a lot of interest in the subject.

With Respect, Chili
