You give people an hour to respond to your thread?

Way to have patience. What about the rest of us across the pond etc who were probably sleeping when you wrote this?????


Anyway, Pushing or pulling is entirely up to you!.. whatever works best.

I PULL but alot of people push. If you are pulling through the reflector then make sure your fan is not sitting at the end of the reflector within close proximity of the lamp and all the heat as this will grately diminish your fans life expectancy.

I pull through mine like this

COLD AIR INTAKE --- DUCT ---- REFLECTOR ---- DUCT ---- FAN ---- DUCT

then i also have a 2nd fan for exhaust and filter like this

FILTER --- DUCT --- FAN ---- DUCT

This is the best way to have full control of your temps. THis way the lighting rig fan only runs when your lights are on.


As for your setup you could go

FILTER --- DUCT ---- SHORT SIDE OF REFLECTOR --- DUCT ---- FAN ---- DUCT

Or you could


FILTER ---- FAN ---- DUCT ---- SHORT SIDE OF REFLECTOR ---- DUCT ---- OUT
