I just invested a little bit of money and installed the cooling kit to my reflector for my 315w cmh, which seemed to have helped a couple of degrees in difference, however, I am still not where I need to be temperature wise. I tried arranging my setup in every possible way and I can only get my 4'x4'x6' room to 85-90 degrees (even with the cooling kit installed). In addition to the cooling kit, I made sure there was enough air exchange in the room having 150-200 CFM's in and 340 CFM's out, plus a box fan, a small clip on fan, and an osculating fan directly under the light pointed onto the thermometer.
At the moment I am only running a small mars led panel for a single lady, simply because I cannot keep the temps low enough with the 315w bulb turned on. I would like to get my numbers back up to get on rotation (another 3 months behind), however besides running an a/c unit (which is not really an option unless it's cheap and on a super small scale) I am not sure what there is left to do. I've already invested $70 in trying to fix my heat issues, figure at about another $90 I could have just got another junk led panel for the summer.
Thoughts?
