Currently, my lighting is in a sealed reflector with a dedicated cooling system, closed loop separate from the intake/exhaust system for the chamber. I have a Suncort 6" duct fan drawing air over the light and it seems to be working well, but I'm expecting to have to increase air flow during the warmer months.

In your original question you posted a substantial fan w/carbon filter.. Seems to me keeping your light colling system separate is the best approach.

Here's what I'm doing:

thanks for the post dude, but I looked at your grow box and I have no idea what's going on. Not that I'm confused, but it looks like the blower isn't even attached to the lights?
