I have this wooden cabinet with two swing doors, perfect for a little stealt grow. I Already have this 150 watt hps security light so why not use it for the cabinet? At least i hope it would work. I read up on cool tubs and have bought all the supplies needed. So with a cool tube can i have a small wooden cabinet (4'h 2'w1'd) cooled down to where a fire would be imposible? i could imagine so but i just want some reasurance. I also have this mother fucking powerful little 4 inch fan Thermaly protected 31 amp fan. But the one thing i worry about is the fan shutting down while im out you know, but i dont think i should worry to much. What do you think?
This sounds like its fool proof as long has my fan is quality and its gowing and working, that box will never get hot enough to start fire?

you will be fine just vent and keeps a fan on to keep everything cool

ok so i was thinking of a way to make the cabinet as fire resistant as possible. What if i line the inside with sheet metal, which would take all the heat and distribute it throughout the metal while the wood would only get slightly warm. would it be possible then, if my fan failed, to start a fire?

Im pretty sure most fires in grow rooms start from faulty wiring or a short in a wire. Or overloading outlets and things like that. A 150 watt hps isnt going to get hot enough to burn wood. It will put off a lot of heat but you should be more worried about keeping the temp down in cabinet for the plants. Just have intake/exhaust fans and a fan blowing in the cabinet and everything should be fine..

And so it has begun...

If the cool tube failed, there could very well be a fire, that light gets fucking hot, enough to worry about. And yeah i will have a couple intakes and a strong outake that will cool the cabinet so good point, ill just have to have some stronger intake outake fans to keep the inside cool if the fan fails. Whats a good fan that will have a strong airflow for small spaces like this caninet. I heard small blower fans work very good... Anyone know of a cheap, yet powerful exaust fan for this set up??
