I do sometimes use the oscillating ones under canopy in flower tents if I happen to do a very dense scrog.

But for me the 16" wall mounted on ceiling covers the whole 8x4 very well..

The draw back for some might be you lose a ft off your ceiling. But that doesn't make any difference to me because I've got , mostly, 8" filters , so I lose that space anyway.
Not that I've ever really needed that extra height anyway

Traditional stationary fans with all metal construction where you can see all moving parts and wires to be able to easier maintain and clean.

They last years instead of grow cycles with the cheap clip on fans. The worst thing in the world is a squeeking oscillating fan that you have no idea when it's gonna break.

For exhaust I solely use highly classed industrial fans with thermal fuses.

Your totaally right about that do you have any brand to recommend?

and the Ac infinity intake/exhaust fanfor a 5x5 tent is enough they are well built andthey last a long time they fine for me

I always buy them whenever they are on sale. There's so many brands globally with the same construction. I would look at wattage and settings. In my tall gorilla tent I have two 65w way up in the top and two 30w in the bottom.

30-40w is a good range to be able to keep the fans pretty close. Look for fans with 4 settings, 3 speeds and off.

Something like this:

Im torn btw going with either :

- 2 or 3 s6 for top cannopy and a 12'' desk fan or a lasko tower fan for mid and bottom
- A 16'' hurricane wall fan with the desk or tower fan
- 3 or 4 clip on fan with the desk or tower fan

What would be the option from your experience help me decide please

I'm really happy with the primaklima whisperblower with two silencers and a simple but quiet rowenta silent combo I have.
8x4 here.
