I've been going back and forth on what lights to use for my Veg area, and it all comes down to temperatures. I will not have an easy way to cool the light other than just a fan blowing on it, and the I hope to have the room itself filled with Co2 so I don't want to vent right out. Anyone have an idea if it would be possible to just have the light on with a fan without overheating the room? Size is about 2.5' x 4' x 8'.
If not then I'm not exactly sure how to approach it. The smaller enclosed lights I've found don't have the same kind of fittings as the larger enclosures. There is one model I'm looking at with a glass lens for $145, but the small fan they have as an option is $50 and mounts on the top. This doesn't work for my area and I was planning to connect it to an inline fan anyway. Other smaller enclosures I've seen have a bunch of vents and I'd worry about pulling Co2 out of the room along with the lamp heat.
Any other ideas?
