Replacing my old Sun Ballast and Hood

Looking for a recommendation for a new Ballast and hood that is air cooled. Been running my sun equipment for 10+ years. Moving to a new spot time for a change. The Solis Tek has my attention for the Ballast no clue what i want for a hood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I use industrial low bay warehouse reflectors.
What got my attention was Solis Tek, I just installed their 10,000K 600 watt bulb and had to change the reflector from white enamel to polished aluminum.
The Solis Tek actually puts out measurable UVB, the first bulb to do so, others have advertised UV but only Solis Tek puts out enough to register on the UV meter.
White absorbs UV so the polished metal is necessary if the full UV is to reach the plant.

I run multiple lights and low bay fixtures are designed for seamless overlapping light on workstations. I find the beam is a bit wide for single light use.
