Any ideas how to cool an 8ftx8ftx8ft room with 2x1000 hps?

does any one have any suggestions?

No one has any suggestions???

6" inline fan venting out of room.

Draw in air from a cool source. You should have no problem unless you want to seal the room. Then you would need air conditioning.

Thanks for your reply. The room is actually a 8ftx8ftx8ft walk in closet. I think i am planning on to leave the door open and stretching panda film or some other strong reflective material over the door way. Then cutting out holes for my ducting to go through.

Then I plan on having two to three fans. Each of these will be suspended from the ceiling and their ducting will room through the holes in the door way.

1 fan for exhaust with a carbon filter probably a 650cfm

1 fan for sucking hot air off the lights since the lights will be in air cooled hoods(or do you think i should blow air onto the lights to cool them. Ive heard that sucking hot air off the bulb is better) around 450cfm

1 fan maybe for intake around 210 cfm blowing cool air into the room near the bottom of the room.

Hopefully this will produce optimal temps. Does anyone have any opinions?? or suggestions..

thanks for all your help

u got the right idea..have u bought the 1000watters yet..upgrade to a pimp hood that has 6 in air cooled kit instead of 4in..id run the bigger cfm fan to the lights..daisy chainin them together cutts ur cfm way down..infact one side of 1 lights hood can be tied to the large carbon scrubber, and the other side connected to other lamp..and at the end of run flex duct goes to ur inline fan and up and out..that way u just use the 1 big ass exhaust fan to draw heat out of ur reflecors, and smell in 1 swoop.. i think this will work for jsut two reflectors..depending on closet and temps right outside that..u still may need portable a/c..unless ur intake is much cooler air, like from ur crawl space ..or a shaded side of ur home

I havent bought the lights yet. I was planning on getting some 6 inch air cooled reflectors.
As far as set up goes are you saying i should get like a 800-900 cfm fan and hook it up as follows.

Carbon filter---->Light-->Ducting---->Light---->ducting--->800-900cfm fan--->ducting out of the room?

does that sound about right? just trying to clarify what you said. Also would i need to add ducting between the carbon filter and light?

Also since the closet floor is carpet, should i cover that with some sort of reflective tarp or panda film also?

If you want to remove heat from 1000w hoods its not just a matter of shoving the largest fan you can get through them, air traveling at 100 mph aint going to pick up any heat at all, 600w need about 250-300 cmh each so i would add a bit and double it for 1k lights, about 680 cmh, and dont run them in line, keep them seperate and balanced on the input side, preferably drawing from outside the building.

Venting the room is sumat else entirely

i would say a 6'' HO exhaust fan w/ 600-1000cfm will do it...and yes hooked just like u have listed. daisy chain them..and yes youll have to flex duct the carbon scrubber side too becasue those suckers can be big and heavy..so youll use something like plumbers tape to hold em up..and run ur ducting to it.. this will improve your lights...in the sense they dont get over worked and hella hot. youll be able to probably touch your hoods after doing this..you may still have some air issues..and need to say ad a portable a/c unit. im runnin 2k like u wanna have a 10,000btu a/c ...and 6''exhaust (not air coooliing now((not optimal))) w/ like 300cfm exhaust..and another squirl fan blown in cool fresh air at 180cfm....the room is a 7x7 ...with the exhaust and intake as mentioned...if i run my lights w.out a/c i breech the 90's and 100's. AC 75 degrees w / all 3 running together
