Lighting LED heat issues

[Ripper]

all lights put out heat.. You likely need another fan to suck out more air.. Maybe a couple Dan could do the trick.. Still need pictures

It's a modified Misty grow box, go to the grow boxes and look. I added a second scrubber unit right beneath the original

Do you have a fan inside blowing air on your light and plant?

Yes there is a circulation fan. I have tried all angles and areas....Nadda

hey i am also working on a small box now(link in sig)
what are the temps when the door to the locker is open?

because i think that its obvious the air isnt being replaced properly otherwise your temps would be closer to ambiant-so i guess im answering ur question with no, that is not normal


are you extracting from the top?
intake from the bottom?

Yes. The exhaust fans are located at the top, intake at the bottom. Total CFM is 240. For an 8 cubic foot box, that should be enough. Temps when doors open are 78, 4 above ambient. And again to clarify, the intake air temp going into the box is 74-76 degrees, the exhaust air is 88 degrees. It's getting fresh air and the room is well ventilated.

I just want to sa I appreciate all
Y'alls help!

Alright guys, I went back and re positioned my fan to blow directly across the light towards the exhaust.....and what ya know, we
Down to 78 degrees

seen as temps drop when the door is open we can assume that it is not the heat from the photons
the air isnt being exchanged, rethink your extraction- remember that two fans= twice the cfm But two stacked fans = twice the preasure(bit less)

u can try running the box without the carbon filters and test temps, that would confirm what i already assume; the fans arnt extracting enough air

i think u woudl do better to stack 2 fans rather than what u r doing, that way you have a chance of getting through carbon

The setup is taking 2 3" fans and stacking them together ( like a sandwich to create 1 fan. Sure the air movement isn't quit enough, I could add a beefy loud online fan commonly in tent setups but that really does not work for my situation so I have to find a balance. I appreciate it
