Go big always with lights and fans for cooling them. A 6” hood? Use an 8” fan into it and exiting back into 8”. Creates a venturi effect. Meaning it speeds up the air as it moves over the light bulb.

Do the opposite with odor scrubbers or carbon filters. A 4” fan into a 6” filter necked back down to 4” after the filter. This creates the opposite of a venturi and allows the smelly air more exposure time to the acivated charcoal.

No i have 8" ducting i fixed the issue..my light was to close to the filter guess it blocked it or something and straited out my AC duct and put it to 62 degrees im at a steady 78.5 56% humidity
