Lighting Hood fan recommendations

Nanook · 12/16/2020, 02:21 PM

I’ve got an 8ft hood that will hold five LED fixtures. I’d like to keep it well ventilated with a fan blowing in on each end.

I have two of these my elevator guy gave me for my stand. Never used them though. If you want them they're yours.

I use a pair of computer fans for my hood. They are on a digital thermostat so they don't run if not needed. As I recall, they are 120mm fans. No idea on cfm's but I think I tried for max flow with minimal noise. They blow in as well. You cannot even hear them on the rare occasions that they do run.

Thanks, Jesse. I started to reply last night by PM and got sidetracked by our puppy. My friend is coming by today with a couple fans of some kind, but if they don’t work I’d love to get yours!

Like I said. Those are new. They go inside of the newer elevator elevator server cabinets. "HE' said they are dead silent. My plan was to run them off a line level thermostat. With my health crap, I've decided to change my set-up. I also have a chiller when I get to it, so the heat problems I used to have under my stand isn't a problem anymore.
