What I'm thinking would be easiest with wanting to air cool the lights and have them adjustable is to draw the air from the room itself... so as to not have to hook into an intake.
Interesting...
This could work, Like was done in the seemorebuds video. However, I don't have a 1200-2000cfm fan like they did. I doubt that my 435cfm would be able to kick that much ass. I'm afraid it would end up running non stop and still be a losing battle against crawling temps. Hmm... maybe I could make it 12 hours...??? This is good. A definitely possibility while running Co2.
For the lights themselves I'm picturing 3 cooltubes... all hooked together and fixed to an adjustable arm.
Great thought! That's exactly it. Ridged ducting in the two spaces between the three tubes, and flexible arms that connect back into the "Y's" at the ends of the system.
I guess you should put the carbon filter first, before the lights, so the air going outside doesn't smell.
Yes, very important as I would like to send the hot, stinky air into the short space between the ceiling and the roof of my house. That way the soffit vents can take care of cooling the air once it's outside the room.
The other plan would be to keep the lights in their own ventilation system... but that would require another exhaust fan for the room... and the lights would need a fresh air intake.
So the million dollar question is...
Is there no way to work all these functions into one intake, cooling, odor filtering, and exhaust super system that completes all tasks at once, while only running the one 435 I have? This seemingly would have to be a senario where the fan runs all the time that the lights are on... +125 watts during those hours.
Let me know if that makes sense.... I'll draw pics and stuff so you know what I mean.
Makes perfect sense to me.
What about something like this
