These Fans Are The Real Deal !!

You can son as I said Im just waiting to hear back from the peoples to see if I can get a set of 12. They come 12 to the box. I want three more of them shits & Im selling the rest. I want to hook up the cool tubes to them like AL B did.

Not to be an ass or anything... but i think that everyone that buys those bog ol things are fools unless your growing a room with LOOOONNNNGGGG duct work..

i only used these type of fans for my cab and i am using a 400 watt hps.... my temps are roughly about 3 or 4 higher inside under the lights than outside my cab.... well i had to use a few... but mine where not rated this high either... i used 4" square one.....

6" Flat Whisper Fan - 230CFM

Hope this helps the guys running small operations..

oh yeah ...they are 19.99 ...lol

genfranco, what size/make/model are carbon filter are you pulling air through? And do you use them for a lighttube as well?

LOL good luck with those and a carbon filter!

its a diy carbon filter.. im not sure how well it will work although my ona bucket takes the smells out of my whole garage ...jesus thats powerful

I used these carbon sheets


cut them to size of a 6 inch duct...theres like 4 to a pack.. then i took some of the wifey's stockings and made some carbon pouches..stuffed those in there as well.... i placed these sheets on both sides of the wifes stockings hehehe.. that way i wouldnt be eating carbon dust. I have 2 fans on this exhaust.... well 1 fan technically is drawing cold air in (dont ask i am a noob and didnt think thaT THE LIGHT DIDNT REALLY NEED FRESH AIR hehehhe... but anyway... there is one bringing air in at the entry of the cab and then one right after the light pulling hot air out the filter is after that on the end.... I stick my hand back there and there isnt tones of air coming through... but power off test have shown that it is doing wonders.... I ended up adding another fan sucking air out and into the vegging/ona filter exhaust that i have on top

.... Kinda built as i went .... but i figured it doesn't look to bad.. Not like FMJ's top notch shit right there... I mean i only spent 400 give or take 50 bucks..

axials arent really strong enough to push through some filters..

Hey, Great thread. Heard about this fan on ICmag and got me interested. Just finished reading the thread and solidified my decision. Just ordered, a TD100 for my 3'X1.5'x3' NGB box and im gonna be using it to exhaust a 250w CMH (ceramic metal halide), hopefully it's up to the job.

Cool man. I have that td-100 in a similar size/wattage. It is in my veg/mother chamber pulling through a can carbon filter 2900 that causes .20 static pressure. Running 270 watts of T5 and about 100 of CFLs. The fan works great, i leave it on full blast the entire time because the thing is very near silent so i would waste the 20 bucs on a speed controller. Keeps my temp at about 75 with an ambient room temp of 70-71.

You should be staright. Good choice..

Did you read my 'do you want to trade' post?

Yea didnt really uderstand..what kind of trade?

Oh, maby i didnt explain. I have to down grade from 400w on acount of stealth issues, the S&P not working well with dimmers and all. The td-200x for your td 100, Hell of a good deal for you. I just done want to go through the hassel of selling it then buying another one. ? Got pics...

I just got my s&p td-100x and it is all right.Only makes a 1 degree diffrence than the 3 coaxial fans i was using.Louder than most people are admitting too,very quiet on low setting,but that does me no good.I am only exhausting a 12 cubic foot box and can only get the temp around 79 with light on.Using a 175 watt mh and room temp is 75.But overall not a bad fan,just not as good as desribed.

Whered he go?

Mind, id recomend insulating it if you really need the stealth, rap some carpet around it or something, it will do wonders..

any idea of the sones or dba?, how quiet?

I've had my eye on these for awhile, I like the modular design and easy of use and maintanence, but I refuse to buy any fan that doesn't list the dba. Personally, I don't buy any fan that doesn't list the exact specs, especially listing the sone or dba

On page 11 of their extended PDF for the TD series, it says this:


than standard (in room) venting.

Thats enough info for me to not buy one.

So you are clearing the air every six seconds with that fan.. That being said the lack of air exchange is not the issue unless your intakes are not optimized. Temp difference of 4 deg isnt that bad over ambient..with a box that small it is sort of hard to really completely isolate the outake air from the intake which may be worth a degree or two. Is the light/bulb in the direct path of the air being pulled out?

The td-100 is quieter than the 100x and alot smaller...where are you getting noise from, the fan itsself or the air movement?

On page 11 of their extended PDF for the TD series, it says this:

Fan sound levels are measured in sones. At this time there are no sone level test standards available through HVI due to the
fact that remote mounted fan noise levels are in proportion to the following: type of duct, length of duct, fan distance from the
intake source and other miscellaneous factors. However, it is generally accepted that remote mounted venting is usually quieter​

than standard (in room) venting.

Thats enough info for me to not buy one.

I mean i can definitely hear my cabinet. With the doors shut and the fatmat, i cant hear the fan at least over the air movement. When you move this much air it is always going to be harder silencing that over the fans... I dont have a sone or dba meter but have a panasonic whisper and td series is noticebly quieter than it. I was surprised to that they dont list them as it would be a major selling point, definitely dont think they are hiding something though...

Anyone out there gots a sone/dba meter with one of these fans?

The vent is to the side,should i make the vent right behind the light.And what can i do to optimize my intakes.I have 3 dark room breathers on the back of box,and 4 21/2 inch intakes and 4 11/2 inch intakes on the bottomof box with pvc elbows as a light trap maze.And i have a 30 in room fan blowing cool air towards the box.Any suggestions would help.

full metal
I think a little of both.My duct run is only 6 feet.

Wow that a good deal of intakes like 30sq inches if my math is right so comparable to like a single 6" intake... Plus your dark room intakes. That being said it sounds like you are successfully displacing the air as opposed to dispersing the intake air..which is good. Maybe some added static pressure with those small diameters and the 90's but i would think that fan would still be more than ok. Why so may intakes? I would think the dark room vents alone would be enough. I would love a oic of the box...I would try to have the exhaust as close to the bulb as possible and have the intakes as much at the opposite side of the exhaust as possible. Like i said before though 4 degrees over ambient isnt too shabby. I would think taking the room a few degrees lower would give you the best impact on temps.

And 6 feet of 4" duct? Not real sure on what that would do to static pressure wise but im thinking that is ok too.. Do you feel a good deal of air coming out the exhaust?
