The DE lamps are going to run hotter. You are also going to want to keep them a minimum of 30"-36" from the canopy due to the extreme light output. With the Gavitas you are gonna want to have 9' ceilings. The AC/DE air cool-able from Sun Light would be better for residential settings with 8' ceilings.

here is an idea to cool multiple reflectors with one fan and no "leap frogging" so you don't dump hot air from one reflector to the next. i have four separate fresh air intakes that feed into one 8" rigid main duct that "t's" up to the attic. these four lights are cooled by one 8" max fan that sits up in the attic pulling air through all of em. 81 degree temps in the summer with no a/c, hope this helps homie.

Sweet idea. But how do you make sure all the air is being evenly distributed through out the four hoods. Seems like most the air would take the path of least resistance, in this case the closest hood opening. I still prefer to run a closed loop room with open hoods and ac. More light to the canopy and easy to set rooms up. Between the homemade drip rings, air cooled ducting rig and hand made table stands you appear to be very handy.

the end caps are sealed, this pressurizes the system, the "t" is centrally located as well, the max fan has a ton of pull and a fairly high ccm rating so if the reflectors are the same make and model the air is evenly distributed.each reflector has its own fresh air intake in this case everything is about the same length or distance. another thing to consider when i thought of this is that with a large hood that is properly cooled you can't beat the energy levels that can be reached because now you can get em closer to the canopy with no burn. open set ups have to be much further away to avoid burn good for larger areas i imagine. this a good way to put a lot of light into your canopy.

anything i can do to help my friend,this is way cheaper than spending a grip on an a/c. I've never run one. i know this may not be ideal for someplace like texas, but outside highs reach mid 90's around here and the room maxes out at 81.

I helped my buddy set up a 16 light area that utilized this idea with a slightly different layout, this was cooled with one 14"max fan. this shit works well.
