OK my new Metal halides came in today and I am getting ready to throw them into my hood. I have a pair of 175w bulbs with spider reflectors being driven by IcaCap ballasts.
The hood interior is painted white with a coat of exterior primer and a topcoat of exterior white semi gloss enamel. I already have 2 60" T-5 actinics lights installed as well.
Can I mount the reflectors directly to the hood or should I put in some kind of standoff to reduce the amount of heat transfering to the wooden hood?
If I should use a standoff of some sorts what would you recommend using?
