Questions:
If I run a 600w HPS though a cool tube in a tent, and my inline fan fails, can the tube trap the heat burn up and cause a fire?
Will running the light dimmed for long periods shorten (or lengthen?) the lifespan of the bulb?
Backstory:
I started with CFLs, briefly moved to burple LEDs, and then to COBs. I'm now getting ready to experiment with my first HPS light -- I'll be finishing an outdoor plant in my garage under it. So I'm totally new to HPS. I'm also considering next winter running one tent in the garage with the HPS light in it... maybe a 3x3? I'd actually rather run two plants in a 2x4 (I prefer more variety to single larger plant) but it seems like the footprint would be less than optimal for this kind of light... which is why I asked about dimming it. If I ran the 600w at about 400w I could put an Optic 120 on either side of it... might cook the plants though, not sure.
Thanks in advance --
