Hey, just curious as to how you guys control radiant heat from the underside of LEDs, or if I should even worry...I'm in a room now that is at 21c. If I check the temp at floor level it is 20c due to cement floor, at mid canopy level it is 24c. If I move the temp sensors to 12" from the quantum boards, the temp shows 35c, but I'm not sure if it's from radiant heat, or the sensor heating up due to black plastic casing. If I take 15 readings from the tent at varying locations, it averages 26c, but I'm just a bit worried about the 35c hot pocket under the lights.
If I hold my hand 12" away it gets very hot after a minute, but the plants seem fine. The lights don't get that hot too touch, and it sits around 28c at the very top of the tent. Is it normal to have such a hot pocket (10c over average) under the lights when there is adequate exhaust and intake, plus two 150mm fans inside a 2x4?
