Man if you guys are cooling lights down with only 400 cfm fans, no wonder I feel like my 900 cfm fighter jet motor is overkill lol.

Holy fuck... lol. Thats alot of cfms. You could probally cool 4 gees with that. That things gotta be loud. 8 inch or 10 inch? Your lights must be like 70 degrees. You run a silencer? I do. It helps alot..

Wow that is huge, I use a Tjernlund-M-6 which is 530CFM with a Variac Autotransformer @ about 60% power, keeps my temps with 5 degrees of the ambient of the room I am in. Of course I am not running the lights you folks likely do.

its a 8 inch. No silencer either lol. Its a loud SOB, like a fighter jet getting ready for takeoff lol. I have a speed controller on it though. Right now its actually not even air cooling the hood. In the tent the way the air ports lined up wouldnt work for my room to make my hood air cooled. So my fan is in the upper corner and pulls the air from the top the tent. I keep the fan on the highest level that my ears can tolerate, probably about 1/2 speed. As long as my ac is set between 72-77 it keeps my tent cool. Next check I am going to get some flex ducting and make the hood air cooled, just can't afford it atm. Seems to work fine without it, but if i aircooled the hood, I could probably lower the light some more.

I got my air cooltube on amazon for 53 bu ks each.. what hood u running?

Its a hydrofarm XL hood with a cool tube in it. So its basically an air cooled hood, but instead of the hood being sealed it has a cool tube. When my light comes on I will post a pic of it.
