Hey everyone, is there any way to lower Þhe IR heat signature from my lamps? I have 2/1000w lamps.
look around the net for IR BLOCK.... you cover your walls with it... dunno if it really works because no one wants to cough up the money to rent or buy a Ir camera... those things are expensive!!!!
do u have this on your lightsYou can make an aparatus similar to a bong but bigger. Bongs are used to cool down the smoke considerably aside from filtering. Use a big drum and fill with water, use a suction tube with an industrial type fan sucking out and connect your light's exaust to the drum. The water and the darkness inside the drum will drop your IR to nothing or next to nothing. Attached is a pic I drew, if it's a good idea, give +rep please, for my time. You can do that by clicking on the scale on the top right of my post.

Very cool idea. I'm very small time but I'm always interested in how things work and how to make them better. Here's the thing I think would be the biggest obstacle though: Pushig against the mass of the water is going to slow the exhaust fan significantly and wear em out pretty quick right? But maybe if you put a lid on the top and another exhaust fan sucking air out of the water container...and then when all your crops are done and your about to close shop, connect a giant bowl to it, close the door, and go brain dead lol

You still have to do something to mask your exhaust air.
It will not need masking if it is spread out throughout ur roof as it will just become still air.
