I have a pandafilm 10x12 room inside a 15x20 room with plenty of AC to cool 4000 watts. I know this because I ran the 4000w without a room in a room with no problem and didnt vent the hoods.
I have 8" Blazer vented hoods.
The main room has ceiling tiles with an 8foot tall attic area or whatever you call the area above the ceiling tiles.
I have a massive max-can to exchange air in the panda room.
But since this area is more enclosed and sealed then Ive run before Im thinking I should go ahead and vent the hoods.
1. So do I exchange air out of the room through the 4 lights? (adds work to the AC)
2. vent the lights from and back to the attic? (recirculating hot air through the lamps?)
3. pull air from the main room (cooler) and vent to the attic? (wasting AC but not a huge concern)
4. run them unvented and just exchange more air(way less bullshit venting and hoses everywhere)
