Light leaking out

I built a growbox, and im using pc fans in it, one for air in and one for out, their 128mm pc fans.

Anyway, light is leaking through them and i was wondering if anyone could suggest something to cover them where air still moves through, but don't let my light leak out.

Thanks

The easiest way is to go inside the room, turn on lights outside the room and look for leaks.

If your box is too small for you to crouch inside of try setting up a camera on video mode pointing at the fan. Hit record and shine a light at the fan from outside at different angles to see if any gets it.

Stoner reply. lol. I misread your posting. Go to the hardware store and get a 90 degree elbow from the ducting section. If you get one that is a good amount larger than your fan it won't restrict airflow. Too big and it might still let light in though
