Looks pretty nice . Are you going to be using this in the open or on a closed canopy? I'm not too crazy about the integrated timer. I think it would be easier to have a timer on the outside and if there is a problem with the timer your whole unit might have to be shipped out for repair.

I'm thinking of using two of these in an enclosed hood.
