I really like halides and I seem to be reading a lot of threads by people concerned about trapping heat with metal halide hoods.
Besides traditional pendants, there are some great fixtures out there now that are easily adjustable vertically, and by their design, don't trap heat.
For example, have you seen this German bad boy, the Aquaspacelight?
Or this HQI setup?
If I were itching to buy a halide fixture, I would seriously look at these kind of setups or using heavy duty light stands like I did to suspend the lamp above the water.
Of course, you gotta pay to play with these examples, but if you are a DIY guy maybe this will give you some other ideas.
Cool lights though, either way, eh?
