Bugs the FUCK OUTTA ME when I see people drop that big cash on AC infinity. There's nothing better about those fans. just that they have temp controllers and cool screens. Not worth paying 3-5X the ones linked though.

Damn I haven’t found any that inexpensive for a 6”! That’s a good deal for sure. Do they have a speed controller integrated in them by any chance?These literally go out of stock every 2 weeks then take months to restock. do not sleep on this fan. they are BY FAR THEE BEST cheapest fan that works more silently than any other one I've used. Which is a lot.
Built so well. Never brakes. Look no further imo.
They do require a controller to dial in speed. Be aware there are other models with a controller built into the power cord if you don't have one. but most people do so this saves so much money.

Those are the exact ones I was looking at
for the controls it has but the price is steep. Better off getting so inkbird climate controllerse30driftin

I could just pair up that fan with one of these controllers if it doesn’t have one

There used to be a real handy chart to go with it so you don't have to do the math but it was hosted on an image site and got removed after many years. Really pissed me off that I didn't copy the image and only had it in my favs.
Original calculation was done my Anonamiss from thctalk.

Yup, or any brand/type/style. And with the big Centrifugal metal fans, they huuuuummmmmmmm when dimmed using those controllers, requiring a Variac to silence it. These don't.

I cant stress enough how many times I've seen them go out of stock though. Dont wait. Buy it right now.
Fuck, buy 2 or 3 even. Maybe snag a 4" too.

I have a grow room 11' X 6' and I'm thinking of switching from 2 1000w HPS to possibly 3 or 4 ts1000 simply because of heat. I don't want to have to go open the grow room just to vent heat out. my 2 1000w in the closed room w 6" inline fan can get up to 110. In your opinion should I make the switch or just stick with the 1000w. Any and all comments and opinions are welcomed. Thanks and Peace.....

As long as you realise the mars ts1000 is a 150w light and you would need 4-5 of them to replace 1x 1000w hps.

So I truly need to look at the wattage from the wall and build that up to 2000W since I would be replacing 2 - 1000w. Im pulling almost 4oz a plant with the HPS. Maybe Im just looking to buy something new and try something different, and just need to realize the lights I got are not broke so my dumb ass should not try to fix it.

You have to exchange the air in the tent, both to help regulate temps and to also replace the co2 the plants eat.

Not necessarily equal swap, depends on the efficiency of the LED, they are good lights but made for the guy on a budget in comparison to other lights of similar tech which cost a bit more, like proper quantum boards for example. Which is what I have. If I were replacing 1000w hps with my lights I would be aiming for 600-650w where with those mars TS you would want 750-800w.So I truly need to look at the wattage from the wall and build that up to 2000W since I would be replacing 2 - 1000w.

Their website is fairly accurate on the coverage , they state they cover 2x2 in flower each ts 1000 unit.
I love LEDs, swapped my HPS out a few years ago, but with HPS you have to remember you can air cool. Sometimes if it aint broke don't fix it.
Sounds to me like you need to sort your extraction out.
If you really want to go LED and don't want to spend the $800 for a pre built 1000w replacement then the best bet is building your own, which is pretty easy and very common.
