homebox,cooltube,ballast and ventilation questions

[potenza]

hello my friends.
i have bought my cooltube (490mm X 125mm) and 600 watt HPS.
i will buy homebox XL this week.
i will use 2 fans,one is for exhaust ,and other one is for cooltube.
i will use 418 CFM ELICENT fan for exhaust(it is vortex style fan )
and i will use 136 CFM ELICENT fan for cooltube.
QUESTIONS:
1)is my choice correct about capacity of fans ?
2)where should i put the cooltube's fan ?should it blow fresh cool air into cooltube,or it suck heat air from inside of cooltube ?

3)i have a magnetic ballast.how can i connect ballast and my hps lamp with each other ?i am confused

thanks

I'd do the second diagram as far as the cool tube, and as for #3 do you have a cord and socket set with the ballast and bulb?

i have this exactly,without black cord


PS: the reflector of cooltube is blue.is it problem ?

2)where should i put the cooltube's fan ?should it blow fresh cool air into cooltube,or it suck heat air from inside of cooltube ?

Use diagram 2. Just make sure you either locate the fan farther away from the bulb or you use a fan that's rated to blow hot air. (That bulb gets hot!)


You'll need a 5Kvolt Ceramic socket and an extension cord to wire up your Light.
Check out this wiring

Sweet, eh?

thank you my friend.
so,the air flow is:
outside of the box>cooltube>fan>outside of the box.
here,the fan sucks hot air from inside of cooltube to outside to box.
is it right ?

That's the socket but, we still need to see the ballast. Is the cord from the ballast to the lamp hardwired to the ballast or is it a plug?
