I just broke out an old 400w hps hydrofarm light i had sitting around,after hooking it up my temps are a little high.
My room is only 2'x3'x6.5' but this 400 puts temps into the 90's.
the hood has intake/exhaust holes-1 on top (the venting holes dont go through past the reflective shield, so it seems to suck from above it)1 in the back(also doesnt go past the reflective shield,rather acting as a passive intake for exhaust vent ontop)And 1 louvered vent in the front that does vent through thr reflective shield but does nothing for helping ventalation from top or back.
I have tried to hook this up to my 170 cfm ecoplus inline fan all three ways,best way i have found was to vent from the top and let it pull cool air from the back.(the front louvered vents dont do shit hooked up like this),but the light doesnt cool enough,airflow is restricted cause of a poor design.
So im here looking for venting ideas.My idea was to block off top hole,cut bigger hole(or series of small holes) where the socket comes through the reflective shield and vent through the front.
If someone has a better idea please feel free to help a brotha out.
