Is a 6" 435 CFM inline fan enough...

[Mr. Good]

...to cool 2, 1000w lights through 20' of total ducting? I was pulling air from the attic...through the lights and then back to the attic but was worried about a heat sig so now I intake and exhaust from an adjacent room. What do you think....anybody?

A good rule is 3 times the cubic feet. so what are your room demensions? for example a 4x5x8 = 160 x3 = 480 cfm is good. Correct me if im wrong

My room size is..basically 7x11x9...does that matter? I'm only using this fan to cool the lights. It just blows air through 2 lights.

I feel heat about 10" below the glass. Beyond that would be safe, is that respectable?

Should be plenty for
"just cooling the lights".

i would hook it up and feel how hot the glass is if its still too hot to touch might be to hot

I can hold my hand on the glass for at least 10 seconds and I pulled back just cuz I could feel the UV tanning me.

Thanks!
