Your verbiage paints a vivid picture...I like it! So will you be offering the cooler with adapter seperate? All the components we see as a kit? A few more details please...and prices...thanks.Hi Guys
Does this make sense
The Active coolers are a bit dearer than CPU coolers but they push air through the sink rather than draw and with this approach your driving air right up the butt of the COB, this cooler is good to 130 watts

The problem I see with this design is that you will blowing hot air down onto your plants; especially if you are driving your cob hard, then multiply it by N cobs. Just a thought.

yes fair point. My experience with these coolers is the design of them tends to drive air through and across the fins, the plate actually stops some of the vertical airflow and drives more horizontally, couple that with your tent/room fans moving air should make for little air down onto the babes. I am running one all day today under test so will report back with results

Some people might want to blow warm air into their canopy and if there is enough air movement, you might not need to add more fans to the tent/closet. Could you have it reversible? That would solve that.

If by "reversible" you mean flip the fan over and mount it the other way, that would be great. I would not want to drive the price up by making the fan reversible. I really like the the design though. I have been looking for such a solution that does not cost "arm and leg"!

Updated data
we ran a 3590 3500k CD bin all day, below is the FLIR data
We ran it with a Meanwell LCM60, this is a nice led driver as it has a FAN driver built in and an NTC port. The idea being you could attach an NTC to the Cooler and should the fan fail the NTC loopback will throttle back the driver to avoid burning out the led. Only issue being the LCM60 is 240VAC input, not sure if their is a US version or similar with a Fan tap and NTC option. We could make this a kit
