My dream is 4 ft long pin heatsinks
A ridiculous 24”-36”. My plants are currently about a foot beneath one of them, so I had to dim it way down. Now the plants on the outskirts are getting robbed.What are the height recommendations for the spectrum king youre using now?
Elevated Lighting has heat sinks similar to HLG but heavier gauge
Wow this topic went 14 pages deep ….
Better make more kettle corn.

that is ridiculous really. are you sure you’re not gonna upgrade your lights?
I probably won't have to change the setup now that I think about it.
What do you mean? I said I was going to upgrade them and even showed you the ones I was looking at.
Ah, I see what caused the confusion. By "setup" I meant I won't have to change how the fans are blowing from the sides. The light that I'm looking at (GML Tarantula Vulcan) is 35" wide.i must have misunderstood you, all cleared
i would love to get a review on those temps and stuff when you start running it

Also, to be fair, I have gone through a tremendous amount of fans since I started growing. Probably around 30 if I had to guess. Big fans, clip-on fans, oscillating fans, oscillating grill fans, stationary fans, expensive fans, cheap fans, fair weather fans, lady with a fans, ect ect.
I heard they worked well like that. I've always used a rotating grill fan hanging horizontally between my lights to blow down on my plants. I will have to change that when I buy new lights. I may try the tower kind because they would probably fit.wow all those fans!
have you used tower fans blowing from up top? after all this terrible thermal management talk i decided to hang my 2 tower fans horizontally from the top bars of the tent and then i did, it seems like they’re working but i just dont know how well they’ll work like that.
i once hanged a mid sized table top fan upside down from the top bars and it started to drip oil after a while and then stopped oscillating at one point etc. so i dont except these tower fans to oscillate but just blow air gently but i also dont wanna deal with any leakage from the motors and shit.

Tower fans move a lot of air, quietly. I buy cheap, about 30” with manual buttons so they go off and ON with a timer. Mine stands in the corner. I keep a spare but they will last a couple years at the very least.
My Infrared reader broke so don’t really have temp. At 115 watts the heat sinks are warm, I can easily rest my hand on it. I have 2 Elevated 130w alongside a 135w HLG at 115 watts also and there is a difference in the warmth, quite uncomfortable to my hand.
Love both lights, also have 2 Maxisun MF1000s. Individual smaller lights can give more versatility and better coverage.
Place a bit of black tape on aluminium and take ir readingi have an ir gun but i heard they dont read well off bare aluminium
