will using all LEDs grow light too cold for the room temp?

Where do you live that you could run all that this time of year and not burn everything up?
yeah it is hot as f right now thats why I'm planning to switch all my lights to LEDs
What are your ambient temps in the room with no lights on. Are you growing inside a walk in freezer? If not, the LED's should be fine. I think you should be replacing the 4k HID watts with 2500+ Watts of led. Is there a co2 burner in there? That will certainly help bring the temps up.
Nah just a small empty room that fits 4 sets of 4x4 no co2 yet I’m planning to upgrade the room to leds n co2

I have 1000W of LED, and my temp is at 70F, rest of my house is 69F so its literally just 1F warmer. I am worried that this will affect yield, density, potency etc.
I don't want to put in a space heater, as that will basically run at 1000W, in which case I could just plug in the HPS lights again and not have bothered getting LEDS for $$$. If I was running 2000W of HPS I would have perfect temps and perfect run. Im on day 21 so hard to tell what they will do for flowering so will see in the next 3 weeks.
I know temps for LED should be 85F, so at 70F I am wayyy below. I have measured the surface leaf temp and its the same as ambient temps basically.

i do not run my room that hot.i have been using leds for about 5 years.i set my mini split to 75 to 77
you might need to adjust your fan to a lower speed but there is still heat generated.my mini split runs in the winter when it is below freezing.2000 watts in a 8x10 room still needs ac in winter when running sealed.

1kw led still produces 1kw of heat. Try extracting less of the heat from the space.
