Alife with 2 27w 50/50s

Here is a pic of the Alife hood with 2 of the aqualux 27w 50/50

The lamps are driven by a Icecap 660

the foil is a temp fix till i can get 2 more pc clips from

the manufacter, tried a clip from hamilton but it was to tall.

The lamps appear to be quite a bit brighter,

perhaps the 660 is overdriving them a bit.

Also I think I`m going to stuff a 13w 03 in the back on

it`s own timer.

And here is the fans.

the larger one is the stock fan mounted on the outside of it`s original location

The smaller fan is a 30mm 12v unit with about the same CFM as the stock fan mounted where the switch used to be for the original setup, Everythings runnig quite coolB)

Was it necessary to mount the fans externally? Did you run short of room under the lens?

I thought it would be possible to install (2) of the ALIFE bulbs under the lens. I wish I had bought the Work Horse ballast that would drive two lights. I think there would still be room for the ballast and (2) lights, but the reflector would need some major rework.

Both the lamps are under the plastic lens

but the second lamp was resting on the

stock fan so I moved it out of the hood

and also added the second 30mm fan

cuz the clear cover was tryin to warp

i`m gunna get one of those rite lite`s from

lowes and run a 13w actinic in the back of the 2 main lamps:)
