Im haveing a problem in my flowering room. The highest temp. inside the room was 65F. Today it was at 60F w/ the lights on. I even put a electrical heater on at night to keep the room from dropping to 50F. I dont want to continue using the electrical heater because it uses 1500k!!more than the lights. I wanted to know if I can use the same 1000k lights to warm up the room. If I turn off the inline fan that cools the lights would that help warm up the room? If so, how long can I keep the inline fan off? I would also remove the glass from the reflecters. Thanx for reading

i dont think the fan has an affect on the temp you might have to leave the heater on or go to wal mart and get one that used less energy

if ya mean ya lights are in a cool tube then yes it would raise your temps but you would have to try it to see if its enough
u could also buy a temp control that runs your rooms exhaust fan so it lets the heat build up but when it gets over a certain temp the control kicks in turns on the exhaust and sucks out the built up heat until the control shuts it down again

I have 2 8in. reflectors from Sun System. Where would you put the exhaust fan ? in the front of the 1st light or in between the lights or the by the last light when air is exiting the room. The light bulbs are covered with glass and if I leave the fan off for a couple of hours... would that create alot of heat inside the reflector? Or can I remove the Glass while the fan is off and put it back on once the fan turns on? I might just get me one of those temp. controllers but not till I get sum $
