Hey everybody :jointsmile: Can anybody give me some information on why the temperature in the box goes UP when I turn on my internal oscillating fan?

By the way... after looking for a small 6-8" oscillating fan to put in a cabinet, I found a 12" vertical oscillating fan. Without the round fan shape, it sticks into the corner of a box perfectly and turns on a dime so it barely takes up any space. 2 speeds and oscillating on/off. $19.95.

Anyway, to my other question... anyone know how much of a difference it makes having the exhaust on top (as opposed to really high up on a sidewall?) Any input is pondered and appreciated. :thumbsup:

Extra info:
Space is roughly 2.5-3 sq. ft.
~4" passive intake
~4" active exhaust/ high velo. fan
12" internal oscillating fan
3 x 26w 6500k cfl
1 x 26w 2700k cfl
- Combined 6500 lumens
Wall are flat white.
Cabinet is not completely air tight at this point (which I think may cause temp. problem?)
Nurturing two precious babies.
