Not sure what they actually draw. They are the blue boxes hanging from the ceiling in one of the pics. They are 1000 watt Lumateck Digital ballasts with 1000 watt Hortalux bulbs. They are 240 volts so only draw 5 amps each

Yeah I believe the total wattage will be around 1150. Lumatek is A++. 1000's are brand new. Those ran you about $360 & some change huh?

Do you guys prefer lumatek over futurebright?

Also a close friend, who is not very computer articulate is considering putting 2 1000 watt hps hoods w/ digital ballast, but he his wanting to put this in the new 4x8 hydro hut.... with a strong enough fan is this possible???? what kinda cfm should he aim for?

I have never used Futurebright. I believe that lumatek is the best digital ballast on the market. My local hydro store quit stocking futurbright because so many got returned. However I'm sure plenty of people use them with no problems.

I vent my cool tube with a 465cfm Can Fan and it still gets hot.

If hes air cooling the hoods then he can go with a cfm of 500-700. I have a thread on some pretty silent & powerful fans. If hes air cooling the room then he needs to specify the dimensions of the room to get the right cfm.

A typical way of doing this is simple. Say your room is 10 x 10 x 9. This would equal 900 cubic feet. A fan should clean the air within 5 mins so you would devide 900 cf / 5 mins. This would give you a recommended CFM of 180. So you would need a fan with 180 cfm or greater.
