Carbon Filters and Air Cooled Lights

[MedicineMan13]

I have a 400 cfm fan with a Carbon filter can. I've read that I can use the can fan with the air cooled lights. I was thinking of using the can/fan as the intake and blow out through the lights.

Question is will this single fan/can combo be strong enough to cool two 1000w with cool tubes without an extra booster fan to help pull air out at the outake? If I ever decided to add another 1000w MH would this one fan handle 3? I hear MH is hotter than HPS.

The ducting would all be in one line, no curves or anything except in the outake to the roof, and maybe in the front from the can to the lights...

Thanks in advance.

I would use a fan between the can and the lights and another one after the lights.

During the winter, you can be energy efficient and duct the exhaust into another room to help cut down your heating bill.

LOL @ during winter. Havnt had one of those here since, shit since never. Everyday is pretty much the same here 365 days a year, hot!

The extra $200 for another high output inline fan is not easy. That's why im trying to slip through without the second one. Already spent a fortune on the portable A/C and room is still 95 degrees!

Take your time and do it right, you will be allot happier in the end when you dont run into 500 problems caused by saving a few bucks on the important stuff.
