That's strange, I've seen a set-up very similair to that and it's at least 90 degrees a few inches away from the tube of the light

Yeah, for some reason I don't see that working though- how can one end be sealed with a fan sucking air out of the other end? Where does the air come from?

sorry man its not sealed you can put duckting at one end or even both so it could let you link more than 1 lamp, sorry for the miss guide info.

Cooltube Digital Grow Light The Cooltube Digital Grow Light is suitable for situations where heat is an issue - both the way the reflector is used and the Lightwave digital ballast are designed to reduce the overall heat output ... Details / Purchase
Cool-Star Digital Grow Light The Cool-Star Digital Grow Light is a excellent light for grow tents and smaller growing applications. Whilst it's not as well sealed as the tubular

Both of these are nice looking lights

Inline duct fan should work as long as the run is short and there's no resistance. The reason I use a centrifugal fan in my setup is that I have a carbon filter as part of the ventilation chain. Axial fan just can't handle the torque.

looks nice wouldnt still water if i was you, the owner of the place when they get that water bill from that water running all day everyday he's going to shit himself invest in the chiller - i live in chicago and its cold most of the year so when its cold outside ill just pump outside air through my duct work and when its hot out for the 3-4 months out the year ill just use a ac to pump cool air through my duct work but i just need to find out what size(btu) ac i would need and how much would this add to my running cost - you could find a nice low cost energy efficient ac but that may or may not work ill have to reach this- and i would only need this for 1 or 2 grows when its hot out, but if the ac thing doesnt cost that much then it may be used year round

I am the owner, water is just covered by HOA fees, and everyone around here waters their lawns all day almost every day I dont think they will miss a little more very much. It is going to be on a timer and run on the same 12 hour cycle as the light not 24 7 and probably wont need to be on full blast.

I think it is probably the best and most efficient way to cool. I just think a do it yourselfer can make their own much cheaper as I am trying to do. I am planning on a chiller when I upgrade to a larger room and two lights in a few months.

yeah this guy in this video overkilled his grow and is now trying to justify what he has done
i wonder whats the price tag on all of that
one radiater per light and a big ass chiller and an extra radiater just to chill the room
then this guy says all of that is still cheaper to run then just using an ac........idk

i bet you could take one high power ac (energy efficient) and hook it up running a duct and fan to each light and exhaust it in the room to cool the lights and room down and come out cheaper.... but idk
