SirBob Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hope no-one minds me using this thread as its been inactive for a while Hiya, i thinking about modding my cheapey reflector into an aircooled one. Its just one of those dimpled steel sheets bent into a curve. What im thinking of doing is adding two peices of wood to each open end, and installing a pc fan to each end, one intake, one exhaust. the inside of the wood will be coated with mylar.

SirBob Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 what is was then thinking of doing is adding a plate of glass to the bottom of the reflector, held by right angled brackets. I would then add ducting going to the loft, with a third computer fan in the loft at the ed of the ducting to strengthen airflow. This should hopefully allow a much shorter distance from light to plants, strengthen the ballast, cool the room and make the day and night temps a lot closer. I think ive got it sussed, getting the fans from ebuyer along with a PC Power supply unit. The only thing im not sure on is the glass. is there a special type of glass that will be totally transparent and wont shatter at high temps?

Guest nigfis Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 This works for me... It doesn't actually remove heat from the growroom, but it does suck air from above the lamp area and down onto the tops of the plants where all the transpiration occurs.

SirBob Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hiya Looks like we had similar ideas 398646[/snapback] wow, did u diy that? looks well pro. im now thinking that if i have an extraction from the lamp, ill need a carbon filter aswell. im now going to route my extraction through the lamp, so it goes: filter ducting lamp ducting fan loft im gonna save the fans for a nice little veggie box.
