Question. What happens if you dont run an exhaust fan? Will it damage the bulb itself?


My use would probably be different then most folks. Im thinking hang the lights from the Green House Purlins. So, they are more or less out in the open. Not enclosed in a tent. I would think that I could benefit from the heat, as it would be captured inside the greenhouse.

These would only be during gray cloudy days when its cooler anyways, and during the dark days of winter, when its cooler and the days are much, much shorter.
