If you have any kinda of heat or humidity issues I would run the fans all the time, that's what I do just to keep everything in check.. Whats ur setup like? What size room and light?
Don't use a dimmer on a fan motor. It causes them to run inefficiently and they might overheat.
not trying to start a flame versus flame war.
i have to call your statement ===> incorrect.

dimmer wasn't the proper term... though (as a licensed & legit business owning contractor) that's exactly what it is.
more like : variable fan speed controller
here's one ebay :
for much less $ , you can definitely use a dimmer... as long as it can handle 15 amps (and that's a standard wall switch amperage)... what you lose over the pro unit (above) is the fuse (which is nice to have).
hasta la proxima, cabrones.
...didn't mean to start a war. lol :rasta2:
Will dimmers work on grow lamps, and by 'work' I mean reduce luminous output proportional to power use?
but, as a licensed contractor, i stand firmly by my original assertion.
plus, the dimmer option has been discussed, either here or at RIU, & found to work.
theory or practice, which do you prefer?
:)
nevertheless, after following your post on da cheese Mr. Esq, i ordered some blue cheese seeds (along with a few other select pick & mix seeds) from barneys farm... all runts & no sprouts on the cheese
twas quite sad on da cheese... especially since your bud pics looked so darn yummy & smoke report so inspirational.
you have not said the size of the room, aircirculatin is the must, but eight circulation fan is more i think. have you ducted it out, :pimp:
... all i know is i bought a plug in dimmer switch from amazon and when i used it with an oscillating tower fan it made a buzzing noise and below a certain setting wouldn't work at all and i also tried a wall mounted light dimmer i got from B&Q and ditto - but that must have been cause they were rated below 15amp was it??
If you find that your fan controller is making your fan hum, which it shouldn't, then you need to get a transformer type controller. Often marketed on ebay as a silent fan controller.
Essentially they are multitap stepdown autotransformers and work on all fans. 100% safe.
Just a little tip.
