If you are not in a "tent" or "cab" I vote for a square sealed reflector...

but in close quarters, where the footprint isn't a big factor, the tube cools better... ;-)

WOW! I explained why I believe what I believe...

But you don't..... hmmm...

No back for your so called "facts"...

funny..

Why is there a competition on knowledge??? Why cant we share facts and wisdom openly for the simple fact of helpin a patron out. And not have people with chips on their shoulders because he/she knows something someone doesnt.

Arrogance breeds Zero respect

anywho, im about to install a ventilation system in my space aswell, so what is the better of the two??? Pulling??? or Pushing?? Im leanin towards pushin.

plus!! could i use a PC fan? my space is 2x2x3 lwh

thanks allot :-)

My friend runs five 1000 watt lights and pulls the air, but his blower gets super hot to the touch, I don't trust that at all.

As far as cool tubes go, bah. I use XXXL 8" air cooled hoods for way better coverage of light and they don't heat up at all.

hey guys thanks for the advice, just wish we could get along a bit better lol

In all the mechanical room I have been in, I can't remember seeing any intake fans. Only exhaust fans.
Negative pressure is more efficient in exchanging air. There are always air leaks in buildings, rooms, etc...
Would you rather be blowing the stank out of your room or sucking it out controlled like a vacuum?
An exhaust fan aids in the natural way air exchange works.

Some applications require an intake fan.. not many, but some do...

For example, I have had an op that drew fresh outside air from the lower level and across the room...

Without an intake fan, the exhaust fan was unnecessarily strained...

But you are right... :razz:

99% of the ops do not need an intake fan... passive is fine... :bigjoint:

You blow the light tubes to keep positive pressur. This way if you have leaks in your ducting, you will not "suck" smell into your cool tubes and blow it into your room. As for the carbon filter, it is more efficient to Suck the air through.
