I tend to be clumsy and bump lights n shit so I like having a cool tube to protect me. I agree if the air passing through them isn't filtered they can loose alot of light and be a pain to clean. I think its a good idea having the lights on a closed loop from one part of your home venting out into another then only exhaust the carbon filter to outside. I find this a very efficient way. Also a 12"-6" reducer means the air pressure builds and will move faster and it will be noisier, if you have a low quality fan alot of pressure may lower its lifespan. You could try running a trunk line and taking each light off of it instead of in line with each other, balancing the airflows becomes tricky. Also insulated duct on the exhaust side of your light helps.
I live in south east so it gets 100 plus were I live. But in my room I run 2 1000 watt constant for most floweri g then I kick the 3rd light on furing last few weeeks. I have a 1300cfm fan cooling lights a 12k mini split with co2 burner and my ac is not no were near big enough I want to upgrade to a dual 18kbtu mini split to fight and be able to run everything. And plus a portable ac system are junk. Go over board with ac and have no problems... oh yeah my room is 12 long 8 wide 9 high

I feel like the guy who came from the future with the answers- and no one is listening.
I already told y'all what I'd do with the space, 'way up near the top of the thread. Go read it again, because that's the blueprint to pull forty # a crop.
Don't believe me? Read my thread. Here's a taste;
I'm cooling 12 kW of BARE BULBS in the summer heat... with a two Ton chiller. That includes keeping the rdwc cool, and dehuey chores, no extra charge.

Hell Yeah,....maybe you should slow down a little. I wouldn't blast a room with 6000 watts as a beginner. Iron out some kinks first.

Im so confused here ... you have a 15×15 room and cannot get an ac?
Sorry if i got facts wrong, alot of info thrown around.
I have same room i just built. 15×15 but has 8 lights. 24K btu minisplit and runs at 78° perfect without any of inlines cooling lights yyet. Room this size needs good ac and fans.
Myfriend has a 10×10 room with 9k port. Ac. 4 lights with hoods ducted in strait lines. He can hold temps so should be pretty easy for you with so much more space and an ac.
Port ac sucks but will work with only 2lights that are air cooled. Ducting should be same siZE and in strait line as can be and should not have issues is such big room.
I would get ac before co2 cause outside temp will dictate temp in room. Sart with basics before advanced. Meaning, temps,airflow,humidity,feeding. When you feel you cab control those then add some co2...added co2 doesnt benefit them unless they have more light anyways.
