DIY Cool Tube

[Guest]

you can get a cpu fan at radio shack for 30 bucks, just plug it in.

Check out my barrel of green grow. I used a pyrex bake around tube as a cool tube. It works great.

The one thing I didnt actually see on this tutorial... Where are peple hooking up their green ground wire that comes from the ballast -> socket to?

I see the white and black wires, but not the ground green wire!

 

[marx2k]

Come on guys, this is kind of an important question. Does the green wire connect to the ducting? To the mogul base? To a poor hamster's asshole? Enquiring minds want to know!

You can ground to any metal base. I ground mine on my reflector... but then again there isnt a big ass metal reflector when using a cool tube...

very nice and at 20 dollars is a bargian. why spend a hundred dollars on a cooltube when you can make your own that works nearly as well. internal reflector? maybe in the next design

I would highly suggest using just the socket attached to a cord, without that large white base. I actually 1st used my cool tube with the whole socket assembly like the one you posted a pic of, with the large white base left on. It will work, but it will severely impede airflow and that's why I strongly recommend not using that white base assembly part.

Either buy that thing and rewire it (pretty easy) or just buy the cord and then buy a socket (aka mogul) to wire to the cord.

 

[x10fast]

what is the white base assembly part?

I'm stoned
