Other fans with the same CFM are hundreds of dollars more expensive.

Also, is this fan loud?

Would it work for cooling a 10 sq ft closet / 250 hps?

Thanks

No, its not loud at all...

And, no it will not cool your closet. These are meant to be put inside of ducting for a boost to an existing cooling system.

these fans are for boosting airflow in long runs of duct. they don't have a whole lot of power. they bassically "assist" the larger inline blowers. i would not trust one of these for light cooling but maybe as an intake.

I use the 6-inch version from HTG for an intake. It's a cheaply made fan...rattles a bit, but it gets the job done. It doesn't have the power to do much more than boost the intake or outtake. It shouldn't be your main ventilation fan.
