Carbon filter and fan question

I'm not sure of the best placement of my fan and carbon filter. I have a 10in 700cfm fan on top of a carbon filter. I was going to leave it like that and run my ducting in this order. Carbon filter. fan on top, ducted to 5 air cooled hoods with 600w lights in straight line, then vented out of the building. Would this be ok or should I place the fan after the air cooled hoods right before my exhaust vent hole? Thank you

1 fan for 5 lights? let me guess all 5 are 1000w?

lol you need 2 fans that size to achiev that. what i would do is seperate the ducting and you might, let me repeat MIGHT be able to cool those lights with one fan. the situation your getting into you need 3 fans. unless of course they are all 400w then you still might have trouble just because of distance the air has to travel

5 600w lights

My 1 600w has a inline fan and scrubber attached. the ambient air around the light is always 82+.

I think you will still have a heat bottle neck. most I would want on 1 fan would be 2 600w.

you need more fans friend.

Thanks for the input everyone. What if I inserted a fan midway, say after the 3rd light? Also I have a 3 ton mini split A/C

i would put the fan on one end of the lights pulling the air out of them and the carbon filter on the other end of the lights.

lol you didnt say you had a mini split well that could help but i still think youll need some more fans.
