5000 BTU Air conditioner for a 10x10 space?

What you guys think? Enough too cool down a 10x10 space? 4x1000 watts cooltube already cooling lights. needed something to keep room in optimal range.

yes... it should be plenty... you do need to make sure that you can pull enough juice for that room so you dont trip any breakers... assuming you havent already wired it up correctly... cause the more juice you pull will lessen the amount given out for each outlet...

Maybe I have one for 1600 watt cool reflector it keeps it cool but u might need something different

Breakers should be fine I stay on top of that stuff. Just need to check the wattage and amps its pulling I didnt go to the store to check it out yet. Thanks for reply

Totally depends on where you are at/climate. Sure you know that, but as an example, it gets 100-110, regularly, 3 months out of the year here. 12,000 btu is needed to cool this aircooled 3000 watt setup during those months. That keeps it around 80 F.

No master here, but sort of thinking 5000 btu is a little small for your thing, with the summer coming up.

would guess more like 7-8k cooler climate, 9-10k moderate, 11-14 hot climate.

This is assuming some things about your setup though. Would think if you went into more detail about your setup\outside temps, you would get better answers. someone might have the same thing going on.

agree with this. depends on the environment you grow in. basement in a cool climate then sure. garage in Arizona then probably not. insulation of the room plays a role as well.

what are your outside temps like ? that plays a huge roll. i have a 12 X 14 room. its sectioned with a small grow area that has 600 watts of flourescents. in the flower area there is 2 1000 hps and about 400 watts of led. i have a 12000 btu a/c. when the temps hit over 80 the a/c runs nonstop. keeping the room at 82. i havent vented the hps hoods yet. i seriously think a 5000 btu a/c is on the small side. its always better to oversize and let it run more efficiently.

10x 10 is 100 sqft, without lights, this room needs 3,000 btu's in a normal climate, now add the heat from your cooltubes, which probably isn't very much as there cooltubes. So I would say your a/c should work just fine, unless your in death valley or arizona type of climate.
