So I am wondering if it is difficult to air out the tent with that light? I well have a cfm nline fan, which I was thinking of using to throw out the light heat... Oh yeah getting two tents by the way, connecting one fan for both air cooled lights. And my ac kills it so I can keep it Cold at 79 or even go to 70. Do you think it will be a problem to cool? I would not think so, oh and putting a box fan in the tent too.

Do I even need the air cooled hood? I am thinking maybe just to help me from hitting it with water or my body. But maybe I should just hang the light down vertically in the center...?!

You won't know until you try it. HPS is not easy to manage in a tent. I would not go without a cool tube setup to kept the hot air moving out. But, still you will have 1/2 the heat in IR load. Everything in the tent, exposed to that will heat up and then add heat to the air.

I finally gave up and used CFL in the tent for Vegging only.

haha yeah I hear ya thanks so much for telling me that. What is IR? Internal Radiation? And hahai am so glad to hear you say that, I that's exactly what I am doing. Cfls for sprouts and clones and mothers at 4x23w in each chamber, and then 6x23w for actual veg. Then move them to the hps tent.

IR = In far red

It is a heat energy that is radiated onto surfaces and heats the surface up and tunrs the surface into a radiator. Drywall, for example cannot be exposed to IR.
