thank you mate!!Yes, you will need some type of exaust or it will get too hot. Led is much cooler than any other lighting but it still produces heat.
Imo even a small cfl in a fully zipped up tent would eventually overheat if there were no exhaust fan. There is nowhere for the heat to go so it would just build up.That light does not throw a lot of heat. Depending on where you are in the world, if you are in a 4'x4' you will be fine. Led's, I've read, also need a different a different set of temps to function optimally. & those temps are warmer.

Each of those 5w leds have an operating temp of around 145° F, a 100w cfl produces much less heat than 20, 5 watt led chips, different lights produce different heat at the same wattage.
People think that these led grow lights are just super cool but that isn't true, they put off a good amount of heat. The leds are attached to heatsinks being cooled by fans blowing the heat away from them into the air.
If there is no air exchange going on in your tent via a vent fan I am almost 100% positive that your tent will overheat in just a few hours, but I could be wrong.
Plus, you need to exchange the air in a tent anyway to get fresh co2 in.
I have never owned a marshydro light but I do have a 1200 watt cob led by galaxyhydro and that sucker gets HOT. I have a hard time keeping my temp below 90° F in my little tent. I need a tent about twice the size and will have to have one soon or I will have to build a new flower room because the temp near the light, where the canopy will be is just way too hot. I should have researched more before buying my huge light but now I just get a bigger room.:D
Oh and I got my light from ebay for $420.
