TROLL January 19, 2007 January 19, 2007 PM sent. We'll see if this works out. Troll, I asked in the IceCap forum on RC and the IceCap rep said with good ventillation they would be fine. But he may have been wrong. Either way I'll go back to the proper wattage and give it a try again. Do you have 80mm fans running on the bulbs? Also, ballasts should be in spacious environment so the air around it would get circulated rather than build up heat.
rooroo January 19, 2007 Author January 19, 2007 They're 3 or 4 inch fans. I have two blowing into the hood, and theres a large opening in the back. The balasts are mounted on the heat sinks and have plenty of air circulation around them. They're mounted outside of the hood on the stand.I had one icecap running 4 VHOs for 2 years and never had a problem with it. This is the setup:
TROLL January 19, 2007 January 19, 2007 Hmm, seems like you have plenty of ventilation... Not sure what might go wrong- ask the icecap rep. Nice hood, by the way
