Lightbulb Light Proof Intake 'How-To' (w/PIX)
permalink
Intake: 4" w/ 120mm PC Fan

Supplies:
-Wooden strips (intake diameter depends on how long)
-Nails or screws
-Two-sided adhesive tape
-Bath and Kitchen Caulk
-Flat Black Spray paint
-Plastic 'For Sale' Sign
-Standard 1-sided tape

Looking through the fan into the box



Prep: Paint the color side of the 'For Sale' sign with the spray paint. Be sure to coat a few times to ensure total light leakage.


Frame your area with the wooden strips and the nails/screws. Mine is a 7"(W) x 10" (L). Line the outter most edge of the entire frame with the 2 sided tape and caulk the cracks between he wood.




Expose adhesive backing and attach painted side of the 'For Sale' sign flush against the adhesive backing. If its a corning like mine, make sure that the sign is as close to the corner as possible. Use a razor to cut the excess plastic around the frame.



Cut out a desired area for intake and tape edges.



COMPLETE!




Inside & Out (w/ Light On)

That seems like it would constrict a lot of airflow. What are the temps before and after? And will you take a pic with the room lights off, with the box lights on?

Dude, as far as the tape.... I use electrical tape to maximize airflow around my fan, the edge of my ducting. That tape and foam weather stripping is my best friend. lol

did you understand what i meant tho? if you make the whole thing deeper it can move more air volume, someone was trying to say it might constrict too much airflow.
