Hi all, this is my new cab, using a Hydrogrowled XB140 passively cooled LED grow light - which was given to me in return for posting a thread. I have been looking to expand my setup for a while and this was an opportunity to do that. These days i can only use passively cooled lights (for stealth reasons).
The cabinet is from IKEA, a built in appliance base unit - which is pretty basic but cheap. It comes with just a base, sides and back and costs about £25 - but saves a lot of time compared to completely building a new cabinet and has the bonus of being square and easy to assemble!
as you can see it already has a vent at the back, which i have retained and put the cab on a raised base for the air inlet. there is also a couple of pipe heaters under there - hence the wires - as this cabinet is in an unheated garage.
The air out-take at the top goes directly to a smaller cab (the journal for which is in micro grows.
