Thanks for the warning, but no worries. It’s an old house that breathes very well and the exhaust duct is blowing out through a louver in the gable end.

600w grows better. I have to agree.

It’s about nutrition with leds. I do like the hood cooling. But I got to say. It was hard for me to change over at once. Now that I have I would never go back. The thing about old-school lights you get hot spots if you don’t keep that light at a certain temperature the wave of the light is off. @Gpaw said it best. I have a few cheap lights I’m happy with. If you’re happy with what you got then be happy. Sounds like to me maybe you might have some questions about it. I wish you luck either way I think it’s a matter of opinion. I don’t wanna pay $800 for a light. LEDs run way cooler. My HLG will burn my hand.

I am using one I got off Amazon right now. I was a bit suspicious cause I am used to heavy ballast. I once one walked on across like half a city with a friend lol than I see people have them screwed to a wall, there thin thought something was up but it works so far.

I have something else to try. First I was happy with the heat being made by a 1000 wat but for like two months Jan, Feb but than the rest of the time I am chasing temps. I still have one more obvious thing to try.
Currently my inlet and out let are in the door frame of a small bedroom. A cold tile hallway shaped area 4x10 is used as a place for the air to cool before it goes back into the room but I am actually not running and vent line further and I could soon as I buy some flexible vent.
flex hose basically running through my living space. I was just trying to avoid it. so heat good sometimes, I am 30-40 min from Ottawa a place that goes from -40 to plus 40 every six months so it’s a little nuance in that way so I am going to deal with the flex vent see how that goes. I was mostly curious as to how real the coolness of LED was. so I knew how to think about them as an option. will I be watering allot less, evaporation must leave extra salt residue, I am not into buying an ac for the room , I have electric heat and I get to turn it down when the lights are on and a tree line in the summer that cools my house so no need for a A.C naturally for me. I also do not want to spend $800 on a light lol I have seen some for $500 could be great veggers, at least? I would also want them to last for ever. Hate to lose on at those price$.
