Question on Outer Orbit Metal Halide Light

CA1 · 03/03/2011, 07:50 AM

Hello,

I bought a used 60 inch 2 x 250 watt metal halide, 4 x 54 watt T5 outer orbit metal halide light fixture and I was wondering how many fans that the fixture should have.

The one I bought has 2 fans and one vent in the middle that does not have a fan. Should there be a fan there?

Also, the fans seem to blow air into the fixture as opposed to blowing out. Is this correct, the fixture seems to get very hot.

Thanks

My Outer Orbit also has the 2 fans and the one vent in the middle.

Hi,

Do you have the 2 x 250 metal halide version? Do your fans blow in or out?

My fans blow in and I find that my fixture tends to get quite warm.

I'm not real sure if the fans blow in or out. I have the 2x150 model. Been running it for years with no issues. I wouldn't be too concerned
