2k HPS paraboloic reflectors 4x8 tent

a friend is going to try to run 2 1000 hps lights in parabolic hoods in a 4x8 tent with no A/C ... his scrubber system is 500cfm and a single fan in the cab ..... any thoughts on cooling this deal? i believe its gonna run crazy hot.

Open bulbs will be way to hot
At the very least he needs vented hoods

What he said, and running 2000w of light in 32sqft without ac is really dumb, if they were air cooled and he had air conditioning it’d be doable. Better off using 600s if they if they don’t want to pay for an air conditioner. I’ve tried running that kind of wattage in that kind of space without cooling. Ya get airy fuckin larf because the heat

Even if they go with 600s air cooleds the way to go. I have an open 600 in one of my 4x4s and had some autos that grew unexpectedly y’all had two tops hit the bulb and need the burnt bits snipped

You are preaching to the choir
I switched to all 600’s years ago and solved a lot of heat issues

Slowly but surely getting everything switched to led.
