    Default Answered: Hood or fan?

    Im currently in a 2.4x1.2 tent.. 1 cool tube and 20 degrees.

    Im gona run a bare bulb next to the cooltube in a euro wing reflector


    My fan is a 6inch a1 435cmf. Do you think i need a bigger fan? Or a cooltube

    As am sure if i strike up a bare bulb it wil hit 30s

    I used to run 2 cooltubes temps perfect. But fan is same price and i need a filter..

    So toss up between filter n cooltube or filter and fan

  2. "I have two 600w HPS bulbs in parabolics doesn't go over 27c for me but I did invest in the 600×150 filter and that seems to have sorted it because I had the filter down from the one have now 300×150 and I had heat problems and less noise with a bigger filter

    I reckon you will be fine if you temps are 20 in the cool tube I think the other light will push it to where it needs to be temp wise

    Cool tubes or anything that has glass over bulbs cost you lumins ,but for 2 x600 bulbs In a 2.4 you'll want at least a good 6" in and 8" out perhaps even larger for 365 running. ,depending on. Groom location ect,
    I run a 2mx1m using 6 and 8" using 2 x 600 and somtimes it's a battle
