Hi all, I plan on setting up three 600w lights in three 6" cool tubes with two 435 cfm fans blowing on one side and sucking on the other. The setup will be in a straight line, one fan after the other. I am concerned that the third light in the chain will be hotter creating uneven canopy temps. Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thank you
M

I run 2x8" 720 fans for my 3x600 in big kahuna hoods. 1 in front pushing, 1 at the back pulling.

I can touch the glass and not get burnt, even directly under the bulb. its warm to hot, but not hot enough to burn my hand.

My setup is 2 2k lights. I had a problem previous until my new setup that went filter Fan ducting hood ducting hood then out of room. My house would always stink of dope and I don't smoke.

We'll this time around after I rebuilt my room I went filter ducting hood fan duct hood duct and out now room so I placed the fan between the light aND I no longer had smell in my house. The small air.leaks in lighting system would build position pressure pushing air thru like windows leading into my house.
So it may be smart to try different ways put a fan after 1 light before the other and then one at the end exiting room
