Rewire my fan?

HotRod68Camaro · 09/19/2006, 10:01 AM

I have a PFO pendant and the fan is wired to the PCs instead of the MH. So to keep the temp down i have to run PCs full time. Can i rewire my fan to turn on with the MH (taking power from the MH ballast) or is my only option to rewire it to its own plug?

Thanks

I would re-wire to its own.....because If you wire to MH, the PC's will still generate some heat on their own.....and the fan wouldnt come on....

Well i dont want to run the PCs full time. I just want to use them before and after the MH. So even for the 2hr or so that the PCs are on at a time they would still need a fan?
