Re: Reflector 48x3W specs
Hello CoNerd. thanks for the ideas
Will the connection accept any 12v PC fan, or does the amperage need to be greater or lesser than some number?
I'm looking at a small cabinet (1-2sqft x 2.5ft), having the light shining down into it, through a cutout in the top, so the previous sizing isn't as much of an issue. It also eliminates the lamp heat inside the cab space.
I'm still figuring the cabinet air exchange/exhaust & carbon design, but believe the exhaust fan can be slow enough to be near silent.
holist2002,
You could make this light almost silent by replacing the stock fan with a speed controlled, "silent" computer fan and increasing the standoff size. The fan has it's own 12V power supply and the light runs very cool. It would easily get by with less CFM. Be sure to seal the gap between the fan and the case. It will sound like a modern desktop PC.
