Can I suck filtered air from outside through my light if it's cold out side? Say 30F? Take your time answering this... It won't be cold here for a while.. Just want to know... If you turn the fan on when the lights come on it wouldn't be cold air on hot glass... Wouldn't it just do a better job at cooling the light? See I don't want to be pumping 225 plus cfm of my conditioned air out of my house... I'd like to suck it out of the attict through the lights then back into the attict... Or in the summer when it's too hot in the attict suck it from under the houses craw space... Filtered ofcource... But last year when I was just pumping it from inside the house through the lights into te attict I was waisting my AC by 225 cfm... That'SOS lot of cold or hot air lost in an hour... So what are the max Air temps high and low to use to cool your hid lights... I use 1000watt lights..

30 feet between your fan and light is useless.
i think he meant 30 degrees farenheit but i may be wrong.

As far as using outside air that cold I dont see why it would matter but you might have condensation issues in the enclosure, not really sure though.

Hey lets start more posts at 2AM then get pissed when no one has answered by 1045AM. We're STONERS dude! We're sleeping!

You can totally cycle your air through your attic and crawlspace if they're cool enough to get you appropriate room temps. You said you'd be filtering and that was my biggest concern. Do it up!
