I love the cool-tube / air cooled hood systems but I wanted a custom DUAL bulb fixture that a bulb or bulbs could be quickly changed out from a HPS to a MH or 400watt to a 600 or 1000 watt. Kinda like a plug n play grow light hood.

The only difference from the one shown and my new design is that the bulbs are mounted socket to socket instead of bulb to bulb. I like this configuration for better overall light distribution and easy bulb replacement.
Materials list.
(more to come, had to run so i'll finish later)
