Would I be able to run a 400w mh hps apollo light in this tent without an air cooled reflector ?

I would just buy a cool tube light and call it good. Its a bit too narrow to let an HID light free hang in there with no cool tube it will get hot quick anyway you'll at least a 6" inline fan for proper venting even with a cooltube.

Depends on the demensions of ur light. I fit my 1000 watt in there, carbon filter ect all inside it just got to hot so I'm looking for a lower watts

with how limited the space is, maybe. As long as you took good care for heat. I think you could. But if heat is a problem then no. With my inline fan and led hanging. And one medium plant I'm at a solid 76 Degrees. It's got the vent holes for easy ventilation so no reason why you couldn't try

No! Unless u run your a/c all day with the bottom vents open provided u have enough NEG pressure on your fan/filter combo... Hope this helps!!!

It does not get too hot as its only 10 watts. You should be fine putting it in an enclosed fixture.

This or any other fan will work. I use this fan on a cool tube reflector on my 1000 watt hps. I have it plumbed bring air from outside the room threw the light and right back out of the room. so I guess what I am saying is you will need to be bringing in fresh air as you are exhausting the hot air. Room size makes a difference as well.

I think not, 500w is the less you need to use it, with a 600w maybe you can

that would be not be economical i would suggest just buying a cooltube with no reflector. you can get them for half the price of this unit.

I don't think so. You could probably put an LED lantern on the ground. It's a small tent. I would not use any type of lantern that gets hot.

I've had this light flush mounted since early to mid summer, and so far have had no problems with it. I do not have any special ventilation. The bulbs themselves can get hot as they are halogen, but I don't believe that there is any transformer inside that would heat up the fixture itself. If you don't want heat coming from the bulbs, you can always buy g9 size LED bulbs. If you do that, I recommend buying the regular (non-dimmable) LED bulbs, as the dimmable LED bulbs can be quite large.

Yes def....no worries produces a lot of light even with 40 watt bulbs....also gives off a lot of heat

A 300 watt LED is quite powerful. It's more than enough for a 2x4 tent IMO. Go for it!

This is a perfect indoor light but should be air cooled to get the longest life out of the 600 bulb. A 1000 watter should always be air cooled.

They are already hotter than the sun, so probably not. You could of course use your own lights with the light tent, but I think the point of this particular kit is the convenience of buying an okay photo tent with some okay lights at a cheap price and all at once.

You can BUT there are a couple of issues. 1) LED drop-in bulbs are usually designed for either 2 cell (3.0V) lights or a specific flashlight with a different # of cells, while none I have ever seen are designed for 18V. You could build your own with a separate buck driver circuit and tuck that circuit behind the reflector but you would probably already know this if you are adept enough at modifying lights so there may be a slow process of figuring out minor details in implementation. 2) The reflector is plastic and it has no method of easily shedding heat, effectively limiting the LED wattage to about 1.5W at most and even that might be too hot. You can't just slap a heatsink on the back because the heat still has nowhere to go. I mean you will need a heatsink for 1.5W already, to modify the interior of the chamber the bulb sits in to mount the heatsink and the LED on it instead of a "bulb" type drop in. Last, it's not really an issue but rather a poor efficiency if you just put a resistor between the battery and LED. You will lose more power through the resistor than the LED uses and the resistor will get very hot, have to be thermally isolated from the entirely plastic housing. #1 and replacing the reflector and lens with a custom optic would work out best, if you can source something with a beam pattern that's acceptable and the right diameter, or mount it on a piece of plexiglass or polycarbonate cut to the right diameter.

Yes, it will work with that reflector. All 1000 watt (and all others, for that matter)lamps have the same plug that will fit any ballast. That's a good reflector if you're loading co2, because it has the 6 inch ducts at each end. Perfect for a 4x4 tent.

I would say yes if it is air cooled, it is bigger in person then it looks on this page. Although you will have heat issues if not properly vented with good air turn over. I use mine as a T5 starter tent.

It can hold energy saving light on top, and heat pads on bottom, I used a 25w pad. It has not problem with humidity.

The short answer is "no". (Maybe a fan.) If you did the calculations I think you would find that your roof is not big enough to hold the panels that you would need and the battery bank would be more weight than your RV could safely carry. :(Come to California where you do not need heat or AC. :)

I am using one of these in a 4 x 4 x 7 tent. I bought the one with only the HPS light. Make sure you control the temp in the tent, as this light alone heats up to about 87*. I'm no expert, but I think this one light at 600 watts would cover a 6 x 6 tent, as long as the plants aren't smashed together and they can all get light. :)
