is it a security light that you will have to re wire?
im not sure but i think thatll just include attaching a 3 prong extension cord and maybe make the whys longer so the ballast can go outside. im not to sure what im in for as far as wiring goes but it shouldn't be anything to hard and yes its a floodlight. for now i was gonna put mylar on the ceiling and use that as a reflector for now until i get materials together for a cool tube, that's where ill setup teh reflector

You may want to consider going with Reflectix Insulation. I just finished a remodel of my bloom area. I used Duroc (a concrete board similar to drywall) and then stapled the reflectix to it.

Fast, easy, and feels cool to the touch even 4 inches away from a 500 watt halogen. (yeah I know but each to their own right)

I thought it might help you out. Costs about 40 dollars for a 4'x25' roll at the hardware store and is basically Mylar in bubble wrap form meant to be stapled to things.

Here is the tech link on it...(pdf format) http://www.reflectixinc.com/images/uploads/allpdfs/f3%20oem%20guide.pdf
