Condensation Problem...HELP!

My room is set up with 2 air cooled lights, the shade attached to the intake vent has extreme condensation on the ducting closest to the intake air.
I have tried a dehum, no luck it seems to put more heat into the room rather then suck the moisture.

Any suggestions? I need help ASAP.

Unfortunatly I cant, this is the only way I am able to have my room set up :S

Sounds like your intake air is way colder than room air. If its coming form outside that cold air will play havoc with your Relative humidity especially at lights off. Can you get you intake air from a warmer source? This will help a lot.

don't use the intake for your hood. either that or extend the ducting to allow for ambient room temp to warm the incoming air. you have 2 fans?

I ran into the same problem while winter is here. You will need insulated ducting. It will solve your problem!

Run it all the way if possible, and the cooltube should not condensate with proper flow(cfm). i mean, the light is hot enought and with proper flow i never seen condensation on my cooltube. Maybe you dont have enough flow ?
 
ya while everthing is running the intake cool tube is half covered with condesation the whole time

im running 2 600w with a 10inch vortex fan plenty of cfm :?:-?

Yeah your ventilation is more than good enough. I suggest you to buy insulated ducting to solve your problem.

Happy growing.
