The only wall (without a lot of work) I can put the exit for 4" extraction with carbon filter is visible from outside..will it leak light from a 400w bulb?
I don't want to be creating some kind of 'bat signal' across the back yard lol.

Thanks

Vent covers mate, they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Also, you could put some black plastic or similar over the hole in the wall, then cut a hole for the ducting and push it through.

i put sponge in mine two round bits and then covered it with a pair of very dark tights stopped the light leak and stopped anything coming in mine was a short straight run
yeah vent covers are a good way if it is on public view some come with a filter on them as well

If you put a bend in the pipe that would do as light doesn't bend round corners
