hanging lights

[growaddict]

so...i got a homebox Q60 2x2x4 with a 250w ESL the ones bigger than big mamas legs

my problem is i got no reflector or any way to hang it besides just letting it dangle from the top is there any cheap DIY way ti mount it somehow in there?

So the easy part about hanging lights in a hood is that you are hanging the hood, not the bulb!

With HPS and MH lights, I know it's not good to touch them with your fingers as the oils can create hot spots and potentially cause them to overheat.

With these new fangled CFL bulbs, I don't know if the same concern is there. So maybe you can tie a string around the end of the bulb and then at the base so at least you can hang it vertical?

But honestly there are really cheap hoods now that will fit and work nicely with your setup.

Hang it horizontal, not vertical!

Indeed They only need a wee bit of light once they pop, so you got some time.
