Anyone replace their Current USA Outer Orbit fixture fan?
 
I have just fired up my 36" Outer Orbit fixture. It has what they all a "high cfm" fan. It is a little noisy for a living room.

Anyone replace this? I've heard good things about the Vantec Stealth line of fans, but the 3" fan moves only 27cfm. I have no way to know if that is enough.

Any help?

Thanks,
Mark

I have a 72" over my 125 with three 150mh's. The fans are quiet and cool pretty good. (Another LSU fan)

my 250w one has remote ballasts so i just added a pc fan and used an old cell phone charger cord for power, works fine

I have the 250w remote ballasts. Those run super cool. I think the fan in the light fixture is the loudest. I was thinking of replacing it.

The noise isn't terrible, but if I could get it quieter since it is in our living room, I'd like to. Just wasn't sure if 27cfm in the light fixture is enough.
