They make a small swamp cooler like thing, I think it was called arctic air, 40 usd roughly. Don't know if it is thermostatically controlled or not.

Whytner dual hose 14k. I use it in a small enough room and it has been quite effective for me. Although with LEDs at lights on 83 isnt that bad. They wanta higher ambient temp than HIDs anyways because of lack of IR and canopy temp diffs due to it.

I learned about that the hard way ..try to run @ 72°F like using 600w hps as I'm more comfortable with..ran the temp to @ 81°F and they are thanking me.

If you are taking about the little desk top white ones that you just add water to don’t use it . You’ll be filling that thing every hour or so . Plus it will only lower a space that big a degree or too . If it’s the one I think you are talking about . I ended up breaking it down for the computer fan lol and they’re like 20$

Do you have a pic of the way you set yours up ? I have 4 ts1000 in my 4x4 . I’d like to remove the drivers but I feel like the wires arent long enough for my tent
