Black Fabric (FIRE)!!!

Hey guys,

So I've built a wooden box, and have stapled black fabric as the walls to let the 'small grow room' breathe yet block out light.

Perfect for what I need, apart from a possible fire.

Now how high do you think the temps can get before it catches fire, the cfl's wont be touching the material. They will be at a reasonable distance away from the fabric walls.

I'm thinking if I have my portable air con pointed at my box, the temps will be fine, unless a light falls down.

Which it wont =P

Cheers guys!!

depends on the type of fabric.

Unless you have defective wiring CFL's don't get hot enough to ignite anything, maybe if they're 125/250W they might scorch cloth but only if they were touching it.

You don't want temps over 85F anyway for the plants sake.

Cheers!

Does anyone know of fabric grow cab's that have worked or gone bad ??
