i put my filters in a window box, then seal up the window with vents to the outside. Air & light tight. Ill use a high velocity "can fan" to pull cool room air through my lights and push it out through my window box and carbon filter. This cools the lights and exhausts the room while eliminating the smell. Pulling air through the light is better because if you push air through, the seams and holes in the hoods become heat leaks, if you pull through, they become little suckers pulling in hot air from around the hood. In these pics im cooling 2 X 1000w hood with a 4" growbright high velocity "can fan" ,170cfm. Works good but i have recently upgraded and added another thousand watter in the flower room with a 6" GB high velocity, 424 cfm. now my 4 incher cools & exhausts the veg room while the 6 incher does the same for the flower room.
