Alrighty I started a little project today, the title says it all.
Materials:
-Hurricane Lamp ($3)
-Metal Tape ($3)
-Hose clamp 4" ($6)
-Dry duct 8' ($10)
I already had one of those small 4" Walmart fans.
Basically I used the existing metal piece from the econolight, I attached the 4" hose clamp to the metal piece and to the glass. I then attached the duct on the other side with metal tape (ghetto, but cheap and effective) At the other end of the duct I attached the fan with the tape as well and directed it to blow into the attic. Pretty easy setup.
And pictures!

I see that little fan at my walmart sitting on the paint area's cash register counter... Its not for sale... they have none for sale now, but I want one. ha
I checked out the hurricane glass at Joanne's and considered using it but in the end I just decided against it. Good to see someone trying it out.
I have a Q about the setup. You are pulling the hot air from the light with the fan.. But like.. It's pulling it from a 'dead end'. Wouldnt you need the other end open, to pull fresh good air through?

Yeah, it's time to go at that base with a pair of tin-snips. More airflow!

I was under the impression that it should be open at both ends.. Right now, it seems that any heat generated by the light, might make it's way down the tub you have and then just kinda get blown around at the end. Like putting a fan at the tip of a gun after firing it. Youd just blow around the smoke exiting it. Plus, you never want a fan pulling from a dead end. Go put a box fan with it's back against the wall and see how much air it pushes... not much.. plus it's bad for the fan itself.
You open the other end, it will pull through nice new air!
I am going to cut one 4" hole on one side of my box, and one 4" hole on the other... put
(O = the 4" hole)
(---> represents air flow)
--- O tube/cooltube/tube/fan/ O -->

That'll work much better.
