I don't have a bunch of time right now, but just wanted to advise you to stay away from cool tubes. I think cool tubes for 1000's suck. The footprint is just not there. I would only ever use them with 600's or if power, watts etc.... was not an issue. Then I would use a ton of them stacked as close as possible. Still I prefer the Raptors, magnums etc....

Is there anywhere to buy CAP style plastic enclosure boxes?
edit - I found "plastic enclosure" boxes, and "plastic project" boxes on Amazon, both looked like they could work. I'd bet there are some with standard plate recipticle knock outs, but I couldn't find them.

You can find plastic work boxes at Home Depot.
I'd assume that you have all of those relays tied into a single timer controller, right?
flip flops can cause fires so dont go cheap there!! check out the smart flip flop technology at www.dxhydro.com pretty neat and timers as well are fire hazards . the 'heavy duty' walmart spaecials are junk and i personnally have seen two melt with just single 400 watt light on each! dx hydro has cool timer /electronic panels to control everything. peace
Yep, you could do it that way. The reason that I was talking about the micro plc is that I would want timers for hot-start protection, sequencing, etc, etc. Just a nice Nema 4 enclosure with a backplate and some terminal blocks is going to to push the hell out of your total. It all depends on how you want to do it.
Joe, I know it works for you, but every time you put up a picture of your relay panel it gives me the chills! JK
correct, t104..
ya rives, i know lol...i wish i had you as my electrician, but i dont, lol...it works...but not up to industry safety standards
What would the diameter of the effective distance from the light be in your opinion?
Thanks everyone, this is exactly what I was hoping for. A dialogue like this should iron out a lot of the kinks before we set up.
So rather than cooltubes, you guys think I should go with vented hoods.
I won't go cheap on the flip flops, but I won't be ordering a $500 part for what I could do properly for $200.
