This is a picture of a 1000W Light covered by an Air-Cooled Reflector with a tube attached to a fan. Set-ups A & B cool down the entire closet via a Fan (either blowing cool air in or warm air out of the closet). A more efficient way is to cool down the light itself thus never exposing your plants to any excess heat. Please find out more about heat control in our Learn 2 Gro section.

* Comments

This particular set-up is in essence the same as Set-up B however the reflector is replaced with an Air Cooled Reflector. This reflector is best used in a closet or room which can not be easily ventilated with just a basic fan.

Rather than cooling the entire room you would be cooling the light itself. This is especially important in the summer when the temperatures can get too high for some strains of cannabis. Most strains (of cannabis) prefer (more or less) room temperature and the air cooled fan can easily accomplish that.

Please note that as it is very important to maintain steady room temperature however this can also be accomplished by strategically preparing your room. Come in to the store and see which set-up is best for you.
