Hi Roy: I talked to Kim Byrant yesterday and he sent me a diagram on how to build a wooden hood. He was very pleasant and well-knowledged about using higher wattage lights in Eclipse hoods.

I know that Erik has used them as well. A 1 X 55 watt kit runs $44.99. Here is a link to AH Supply (one of the donors for our General Auction) http://www.ahsupply.com/36-55w.htm Hope this helps!
