No problem.
Half the battle is understanding why.
A clear and thorough explanation can go a long ways.
Hope this helps people :)
This is the first time i ever read a good reason to push air past the lights rather than pulling air .and everything you posted makes sense,nice.thanks.
Solid explanation romoltis thank you for the advice every little thing helpsNo problem.

i like the answer provided by science. it makes sense. but, i have pushed and pulled air through lights... and pushing has never worked as well. maybe its just me.. but i could never get it to work well.
hey bro..been a busy week..been meaning to msg you.i like the answer provided by science. it makes sense. but, i have pushed and pulled air through lights... and pushing has never worked as well. maybe its just me.. but i could never get it to work well.

We would probably need a wind speed calculator to prove one way or another which is more efficient..but the reason I push is because these crappy raptor hoods leak like a mofo. When I push I go and tape the whistles up..and make sure I over-size the piss out of the fan with a reducer. Finally gave up on these and bought these cooltubes with big ass box reflectors, currently being installed..donating these raptors to a new home.
You can do it without the ac... i do and i run them in summer.
Run your lights at night and get a 400 cfm blower for each 1k hood. Pump the air into the space from the bottom and dump the air into the next room.
Live in northern climate running 600w with reflector hood in roughly half that space. 400cfm fan for the light and one for exhaust, i exhaust the air into the living area for heat in the winter. My space sits at 72-74 degrees 24/7 no ac.
Same here... pump n dumps are truly the most efficient way to go. I run open 1ks but its the same principle. .. move all the air from point a to point b and let the room bring in new stuff.Live in northern climate running 600w with reflector hood in roughly half that space. 400cfm fan for the light and one for exhaust, i exhaust the air into the living area for heat in the winter.

Nor use a heater in the winter.... a dehumidifier is a different story but ya.... way more efficient if you have a touch of hvac or air circulation knowledge. .. here it gets to 108 in the summer but my lights dont come on till 9-10 at nightAgreed, i never wanna have to factor AC into my grams per watt calc.
