Correct, where I am it doesn't get too hot, for the month of August it only gets into the lower to mid 90's, so while I'm slightly annoyed at that stereotype, you are still right. The real factor with my setup and heat is that the tank room shares space with the utility room in the basement where the furnace lives. So in the winter that space sits in the high 70's and in the summer it's definitely hovers in the high 90's. Also the room is enclosed so I worry about lack of airflow as well.

Still leaning toward the Hamilton as I can use my ballasts, but the photon V2 it a close contender, but I haven't really been looking at other possibilities the past couple of days.
