I wish I could afford and ATI fixture like yours! I'm happy with my Tek fixture so far I just need to find the right bulb mix.

I have had this tek for 3 years without any problems so far.
I don't think adding an ATI ballast to a tek is a good idea if the fixture does not have proper cooling.

I've thought about the fan mod but I've heard that the Tek ballast are meant to run at an optimal temperature and cooling them too much isn't a good idea. Never thought about changing the reflector to ATI. I have a old Tek fixture I might repair and that could be an option worth thinking about.
