Tent is up in the loft. I'm intaking from a room downstairs but despite this I'm still maxing out at 30c already with the temps picking up a bit now. I've got 3 removable drivers for my 2 lights and want to put them outside the tent to aid in dropping tents. Worry is that when summer fully hits the temps up there can peak at like 40c, so hoping to mount on something that's safe and won't burn the place down! Thoughts anyone?

If temps are hitting 40c in the loft, and the loft is your lung room? And your venting from the tent into the loft? Surely your temps are only going to increase??

Not venting from the tent into the loft, pulling air from a room downstairs via ducting and an inline fan. Extracting out the roof after splitting into bathroom extraction

Ahhhh nice!!! That’s y I asked so many questions lol
In that case drag them drivers out the tent if u can that should help like u said. I added an oscillating fan into mine when we hit 40c here in the uk last year. If u struggling to bring the temps down circulating air does help to prevent problems.

No AC but its actually the coolest room of the house luckily. Putting the drivers outside the tent should help even if by a couple degrees. I've got the tent insulated with kingspan too which seems to help in both keeping it warm im winter and a but cooler in the summer

Cooler than the air outside?

Generally lofts are terrible places due to them being like ovens.
But we do what we have to right.

You will only ever be able to be as cool as the air coming in.

Used to be a few guys growing in lofts on the uk thread.. they've long gone now but the key is a lot of air exchange..

And praying for no heat waves.

Best of luck
