I've been looking every where can't seem to find an answer was wondering if anyone new how hot the air that is coming out of the other end of 8" raptor reflector 600-750w bulb running would be using a 8" fan to push air from room through it?
You're talking about one 600w bulb in one reflector. That's what I run in a 3x3 tent. My fan has a shit controller and is either high or low. On low I have a lot, not too much, negative pressure and the exhaust temperature is slightly warmer than ambient. I'm in a condo and my average temps are 25C and 20C.

All Ill say is that if cops are physically holding devices up to your house to detect if youre inside (those sense human bodys) youre long since fucked.

Basically, if you think theyre that capable, you probably will have a terribly paranoid time growing. Sleep well ;)

they normally use stuff like that when they have to enter a building with an armed fugitive. its rare and expensive, just saying it does existand no im not paranoid, not my thread, just trying to help

They don't actually physically have to stand in front of your house, they are attached to helicopters, drones and even jets too.

And while cops in the US may need a search warrant, the flir cameras are frequently used to improve home insulation too, and then it only takes a snitching neighbor or overzealous worker to point it to your house. Nothing wrong with a healthy dosis of paranoia if you're not growing legally.

The ones youre describing wont " see an HPS bulb though a concrete wall " unless youre not ventilating the room at all.

Theres a difference between taking precaution and being paranoid. Fact is, youre creating quite a bit of heat with a grow op, and that heat HAS to go somewhere. A FLIR cam will see where its leaving, bottom line.

lol first thing i could find. ok i admit concrete wall might have been a stretch but i am certain the application ive described works with stick-built houses that 90% of us live in. its been a while but ive seen the images. its real and exists but as i described uncommon for that application

and i love that you posted a video game ad as proof, that's just awesome!
TBF, Im pretty sure this exists, but it doesnt work like FLIR does. Pretty sure it uses respiration and/or heartbeat to detect humans. Like I said, in the event the cops are literally standing on your house, youre already fucked and have ample reason to be beyond paranoid lol.

Google image search: FLIR grow house

Youll get a much more realistic idea of what cops are looking at.

it's also radar, not flir, but can only see 24 feet in a single direction. good for soldiers, not for detecting a grow light.

Sure, that's why I said a healthy dose of paranoia. It's healthy if it leads to reasonable precautions.

Right. Unless... Opticlimate (water cooled airco) is a popular product in NL to keep it sealed and not have one hot window. Pricy though.
