I'm in the process of setting up my first grow tent. It's 4x4x6.5 with a 600w air cooled light and a single 500cfm inline fan. You can see my whole setup at this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/503163-why-my-grow-tent-so.html
I've managed to get the temps down a few degrees but I'm still getting hot spots 18" under the light as high as 84. These heat shields seem promising: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heat-Shield..._0&hash=item4cf4a96b8b&x=11&y=7#ht_1205wt_909
I've only found a couple reviews of these but they seem good, almost to good, one claimed to drop the rooms temps by 10-15 deg. Does anyone use these, and will it actually keep the room cooler? the air temp in my tent near the ceiling is only around 73-74 but as I say under the lights its hitting the low to mid 80s. If it will drop those temps down 3 or so degrees I'd be happy.
