So let's get this right, you say in the first few sentences that this light releases more heat because it doesn't have a built-in fan so to help it run cooler the purchaser of the light needs to run a fan over them to keep it cool? And the light is also too high of wattage for that light body? That's kind of apparent. If it gets too hot to touch it was not designed and engineered correctly that's kind of all there is to it. Doesn't sound like this light was ready for primetime.Sorry guys for the late reply, the website one day I think the website rubbish is too much so it was down, we flush it and it works again,
As to the SP lights, they are hot for many reasons,
To use the SP lights, you also need to use fan to help with air flow. So that will help the light release heat more easily. And we also have two other ways to control the heat :
- The whole light is no-fan design, so it can only absorb the heat and release it itself on the aluminum body;
- The light itself is actually high wattage for that size light body.
- the white spectrum led chips release more heat than blue and red color leds.
Anyway, though the light itself might be more heat than other led grow lights of ours, it will put out more umols, as well, and also it won't heat your room too much, just 2~3 degrees compare to other led grow lights, so feel free to use.
- to move the power supply outside of your tent
- to adjust the wattage during the early stages so your plants won't influence too strong lights. You can check the article here: Do you know your SP light can work this way?
