Efficient and Cool: White Cooltube with External Reflector 150mm

Experience optimal plant growth using the White Cooltube with External Reflector, an innovative solution for effectively managing the heat produced by grow lights. By coupling Cooltube Reflectors with ducting and a fan, you can significantly reduce the temperature in your growing environment while ensuring your plants receive maximum light exposure. Available in both small and large sizes, you can choose the perfect fit for your indoor gardening needs.

Features and Benefits

  • Temperature management: Lowers temperatures in the growing environment by up to 10 degrees by directing hot air away from plants.
  • Improved lumen exposure: The Cooltube allows positioning grow lights closer to plants without burning, resulting in larger yields due to increased lumen exposure.
  • Versatility: Suited for both hanging lights and floor lighting to accommodate various growing setups.
  • Two size options: Available in both small and large sizes to cater to different wattage grow lights and growing environments.
  • Easy setup: Cool Tubes are simple to install, requiring only the tubes, ducting, and a fan.

How to Use

  1. Select the appropriate Cooltube size according to your growing environment and wattage of grow lights.
  2. Mount the Cooltube shades above or below your plants, depending on your preferred lighting setup.
  3. Connect the Cooltubes using 150mm ducting and attach a fan at one end of the setup. Ensure the air is blown along the tubes.
  4. Remove hot air by directing it out of the growing area through the ducting, preventing it from escaping into the growing space.
  5. Monitor your growing environment's temperature and adjust the fan speed or add additional fans as needed to maintain optimal conditions.

Aqua Gardening Suggests These are Best For

The White Cooltube with External Reflector is ideal for indoor gardeners looking to maintain cooler temperatures in their growing environments while maximising the benefits of their grow lights. Suitable for various growing arrangements and light wattages, this innovative solution provides an efficient way to enhance light exposure and support healthy plant growth.

Notes from Aqua Gardening

  • When setting up the Cooltube system, it is essential to blow air along the tubes and not suck hot air through the fan. This prevents the fan from overheating and potentially failing.
  • Regularly assess the temperature within your growing environment and adjust the fan speed or add additional cooling measures as necessary to maintain optimal conditions for your plants.
