Alright, no more heat in my canopy! :) Got this bad boy to cool off the heat from those 2 400watt bad boys!

This thing moves some air! Pretty quiet for its size.

Check it out! 6inch fan, speed can be adjusted through ac to dc converter for more or less cooling depending upon temp of room

Where did you get it John? Does it make any loud noise every once and a while? Troy put a fan in and it would act up every once and a while.....got to be very annoying. Anyone else have this issue?

Nope its noise is constant. Sounds like wind :)

It does really good and I am happy with it. Right know it is blowing air in. I am going to switch it tonight and run it for a week blowing air out and see if it makes a difference

I have a bit of experience in heat control. I work in a network environment and one of the things I watch are huge 25 ton AC units.
In a confined or controled environment, you can't add cool air to something producing heat and expect the temperature to decrease.
You must remove the heat by creating air flow through the heated area and moving the heated matter (air) away from the source. Think about your computer. The fan blows out of the box. Same thing with your processor. The fan blows away from the chip. Removes the heat.
Blowing the air out will or should remove more heat than sucking it in.
One thing you may try is simply cutting another hole on the other side so you pull air accross the lighting system and blowing the warmer air out with your fan.
Looks like a nice fan. Where did you get it and approximate cost. If you don't mind.

Laters,
