ok im just trying to understand the whole setup of the air cooled light haha. i want to get a 250w mh for my veg tent and trying to figure out the best way to keep the temp down. not sure if id be better of getting an inline fan and an exhaust or a cool tube or what... htg has a cool tube for $85 but i would still need the ballast and bulb...
 
get the htg 250 mh system for 119 and just add on the cooltube for 70 dollars or euro reflector for 59..when you buy the light they give you a deal..shit you can get that 4 inch growbright fan with carbon filter and light,cooltube all for under 250
 
are you sure because you can just call them and ask...when you go to purchase the light you can upgrade reflectors,bulbs get conversion bulbs etc...so you should get that option if not call them up..i always place my order over the phone anyway get all numbers direct and know exactly whats going on with my order

i think the cooltube only works with 400w and up but they do have the supernova reflector which has 4" air cooling...
 
get the one with more cfm...so you dont have to worry about heat coming from the light and you can place it closer to the tops of your plant for better penetration

DK. you can use the intake fan puIIing air from your Iite and have to buy no exhaust fan. just mount a Iine of ducting hose to the fan thats in another area,no ducting on the Ieft side , wiII cooI your Iite and exhaust your room. i'm in the garage i didnt have that Iuxery or i wouId have, puIIs to much hot air inside. this was recommended to me by the ppI i bought my eqipment from, they were hepfuI,

Dk can you use the remote ballast? if so:High Tech Garden Supply

I am getting the same 400hps.

And I have been recommended the Euro reflector over the cool tube. It has 6" flanges but home depot has a plastic 4"-6" reducer.

As for the booster fans I have also been told they wont cool a 400 at least, but I dont know. My 265cfm blower has a hard time cooling 420w/cfl.

my $0.005

:peace:

your $0.005 huh hahah aw yeah thats what i think im going with expcept with the supernova reflector. its only 4 dollars more and has 4" flanges... probably end up getting the 4" inline fan with carbon filter deal at some point also... 12 o'clock its harvest time! :bigjoint:
