If I have a 2 x 4 x 7 tent and want to set up 2 180w LED lights, would I be correct in simply installing this at top to pull air out without ducting?

yes, you won't need ducting inside the tent ,but outside where you want to vent the air (and odor) to, you may need ducting. Hope this helps

Yes this would work but also buy a speed controller just in case you need to slow air flow

Yea this fan will work very well in the tent you have should suck out all the hot air with no problems but you may have to add just a little duct work so you can direct the hot air out of the top of the tent

You can probably attach it however you want if there is a matching hole to create a good seal. Make the fan pull air from inside the tent and blow air out. You will need to create a passive intake hole for fresh air to come in. Some sort of vent or tube will work, just make sure light cant get in.

I wouldn't think there's enough room for hydro, but with 2 duct fans, I was able to fit 6 plants in 5 gal. buckets under 1000w light, it did great. I would double this tent for hydro

I have a 2ft deep by 4 foot wide t5 light in there, and you would have no problem with either of the two lights, plenty of air movement and space

For a tent of this size you would be ok with only an exit fan with or without the carbon filter. Two fans would work as well and provide better circulation but that is not necessarily needed. On my tent I have an exhaust vent in the top and I just tied the holes closed with the provided cords. There are three passive air inlets near the bottom of the tent that will let enough air in.

I've got a 6x24 carbon filter and fan ,,a hood with 6in cool tube and duct work coming from fan to tube..without a problem..great tent..

I think your best bet is to match the size of the fan to the size of the hole meant for the ducting coils because ducting will have to fit perfectly around the fan as well as be snuggly fit into the tent. There are drawstrings here the coil goes to the tent. I wouldn't want you to get too small of parts then go through the hassle of returning an reordering.

I have a 4ft Quantum 8 bulb T5 fixture in the tent. It is exactly 48" x 23.5". The fixture itself fits snuggly in between the left and right side poles of the unit. The power cord pushes the wall out a little -- not really enough that it matters though. If that seems like something that will bug you, a right angled power chord will fix that right up for you. If your fixture is less than an 8 bulb, you will have no problems.

You may want to have a dimmer on some lights, and none on others which would be possible with the two separate outputs. I'm not sure whether drawing all of the amperage capacity from just one output would cause a problem or not.

I don't think that would be necessary considering the size of the tent, your best bet would be to use a 4" fan with small scrubber evacuating the stale air and moisture out while you use a small clip fan to keep the air moving inside. Also be aware that anything beyond 250-300 HID watts is going to bring the temperature way up unless you have your vent running through a cool tube on the lamp. I hope that helps you out, good luck!!

yes you can, just be careful not to run the ballast at more than 50%, it is 600 watts,it has 3 settings.. 50% which equals 300 watts, 75% is 450 watts and 75% will burn out a 400 watt bulb and it limits you to just the lowest setting which is 300 watts, i would recommend a 600 watt bulb, you get to use all the settings on the ballast, and the 600 watt bulbs have the highest light output per watt than the 400 or 1000 watt, and you only get 300 watts out of the kit, and lets face it, 400W barely gets the job done, unless your grow is in a closet or tent, i run the igrow at 450W and have another 1000W kit that i run at 50% producing 950W, plus 4 fans and 2 air pumps running me about 80 to a 100 dollars extra on my electric bill, so if you can afford it, brighter is better, more watts.. more yield... but ya.. nice kit.. i like mine... and you can always upgrade bulbs at any time....

Nope but I did notice however LED lights are more effective as additional lighting. Mixing HID lighting or flourscent with is the way to go in my opinion. I've noticed better results and more natural growth. Pretty light tho- it's pink. You can use them by themselves tho too. I would recommend one plant per 135 watt ufo. Once you have 3 or 4 going it can get a bit noisey tho. Low heat is nice

The crossbar in the tent is more than ample support to hang HID lights from: I have a Sunleaves 8" air-cooled light fixture that is substantial in weight. And from the 2nd crossbar I am hanging a 6" Phresh active charcoal filter with a 400 CFM 6" inline fan attached. The filter-fan combo blows into the hood, then out of the tent. All is good.

I use this tent for commercial use actually. I run a food tent and the LED lights work the best. We set our first tent up at least 80 times through all kinds of weather before the frame finally gave. In my opinion, 80 set ups is a lot for a tent of this grade, for sure not the intention. We bought our second one a few weeks back. Would highly recommend this this tent.

I have those same dimensions, though, in a big wooden box. It's overkill definitely but works really well. I have no ventilation issues at all. I did need to put two HUGE intake ports in though, as there is A LOT of negative pressure. Since you're using a tent you should make sure you can add more intakes if needed. Don't burn your fan out. And make sure you can support the sides of your tent because they will suck in like crazy.

I don't think so but, if you can afford to experiment, see what happens. Me I thinke it might be wiser to use 2 sets of lights. with separate dimers. This would be the save way to do it.

No, unfortunately you can only use 25 W in each slot or the hood will "melt".If you want 70 W basking with exoterra terrarium, you need to get exoterra bracket which you can use to hang the light on (you cannot place the light dome directly on the screen top because the heat will deform the thin screen and may melt the plastic frame of the top )

Yes, but I believe you can put a bigger fan in front instead of the 2 stock 120mm fans. I kept those because they were already wired with an on/off switch for the light.
