Growing with leds and correct temperatures?

Hello there long time reader here, really want to get some input on this subject.
For you led gurus out there I would really like to know what is the optimal temperature when running leds?

Ive read a lot of different things and have expierimented with different setups and my issue may not be that common it seems. in my expierience my room has to be hotter when running leds vs hps and that can be an issue where i live

What are the optimal temperatures when running leds? does what led you run matter? Im assuming so because ive read that some led need to to have ambient temperatures of 80 and up and possibly due to the spectrum that they have? Like no uv or ir. So what about the supposed full spectrum lights coming out like spectrum king which emit a true full spectrum, do the leds with the supposed full spectrum not need higher temperatures like other leds?

any input would be greatly appreciated. Im in a tough position and wondering if I may need to use my hps due to my location now. Would love to run my leds but if the temperature isnt warm enough heating my room would be a waste

By the way I have leds from a bunch of different companies that ive collected throughout the years(spectrum king, lumigrow, hydroponics hut,chinese brands)

I run my room at 78 to 80F using Lumigrows. I've never worried about it.

80-85 as opposed to 75-80

right I have always read from 80 to 85. I may have to figure something else out.

my room is at about 75 right now not warm enough to be optimal

close it up+CO2+ a dehumidifier

ive actually been thinking about that lately running a sealed room i just have never grown that way. im in a 9x9 gorilla grow tent. do people run co2 burners in tents? i do have a dehumidifier and could easily go and buy the burner just need some guidance

I would just run a tank and one of these

i actually have a tank already, I can go get a controller. Whats more cost effective in the long run a burner or a tank? and is a burner not an option in a tent? and how do you disperse the co2 from the tank?

The burner will add heat and the dehumidifier will add heat, so by running a tank you have less heat to deal with. Just need a regulator and you are good. The controller and regulator should be under $300.

well i guess its not a common issue but i need heat where im at its summer time and its about 55 everyday outside so in my big tent if im lucky its 75. i have a smaller tent where i veg my mothers seedlings and clones. I run some t5s and a 250w panel and the temperature is about 80 with about 70 percent humidity but theres not any ventilation in there at the moment they seem to grow great at that temperature though. I used to grow somewhere where the temps where a bit higher and always noticed plants under led only do well under 80 degree temperature.

So since i need the heat can i run a co2 burner? even if im in a tent? i dont need the dehumidifier in my tent because the ventilation has the humidity down at the moment, but i do recall when i used to run my dehumid it would raise the temperature to where i needed for my leds to grow plants optimally. i literally have no oscilating fans in my big tent because its to cold right now so if a burner in a tent is do able i think that could be optimal for me. let me know what you think

burner+dehumidifier in a rent would take it from too cold to way too hot, plus your need a honlin dehumidifier to keep up with a burner

use bottles in an enclosed space, onyl a burner where you have good access to airflow. burner alone+thermostatic venting may be adequate to raise your temp

airflow (even local circulation) is essential and if your room is closed up you *need* CO2 as it gets depleted
