This one, bro?I hear the 315 Lep is fantastic in veg. but I know nothing of their temps. Try a search ......315 Lep I think I read sumthin somewhere.
Stay lifted
I considered the humidity angle. Its definitely too dry in there. That said, hot is hot. These lights just generate too much heat. I can certainly reuse them elsewhere though!It is my opinion that you are focusing on the wrong thing... Raise your humidity, and cool your tent better.
Keep your current lights.
Yea t5 is hot af, I listened that the hard way. Nothing cooler than a cool tube.Hey all,
I have a 400w MH ballast and an 8 bulb T5 fixture for use in my veg tent. I was using a blue bulb on the MH, then switched to the T5.
Problem is the T5, even using only 4 of the bulbs on, gets the tent WAY TOO HOT and dry. Like really badly. Even with the "door" to the tent open. Ugh.
So I'm considering replacements. Either go back to the MH 400w blue, with ballast outside tent ... Or get something that runs way way way lower temps. Say a 315? Or an LED?
Again this is just a veg tent .... thoughts?
But I've read where they don't put produce the same lumen/spectrum unless they are at their 95℉ operating temp.Put a fan blowing up into the bulbs. This will dissipate the heat somewhat and lower your temps. I do this in flower with my 3 hoods, fan blowing up Into the glass, and I'm running ac hoods. I keep my tops about 18" from the glass.
Good led run you like $750 and up. Dont buy the cheap shit. @Wisher619 Can point you in better direction on the led than I can. I've never ran one.LED?
