Hi guys, I need your advice, I want to cool 6 x 600 inline in 6inch cooltube and reflectors, Im currently using 1 6inch canfan to cool 3 of them, but Ive got a total of 3 6inch canfan.

1 for my veg room (100w)
1 for flower room
1 to bring fresh air in

but im thinking of buying 1 big fan (12inch) to cool all my light either my 6x 600w or my 600w with my 1k? good idea or not?

To save some money you could run the 6" fan at one end, and put in some 6" booster fans between a few lights. The air would move faster and you'd save some money.

in fact, ill have 4x 6inch fan and its really noisy, so i want to keep only 1 6inch to bring fresh air in, and replace 3 of them with 1 big fan.

Ive been told these fan are very quiet? vs 3x 600w

my goal is to reduce the noise and reduce my electricity consumption, and also have a better cooling....

12 in can fans are insanely loud, assuming youve never heard one if you say they are quiet lol. and cooling 6 lights is a big no-no.. the most you want to do is 3. Just have 1 6in fan on each daisy chain of 3, and have duct booster fans pushing at the beginning of each chain, that will do it.

You dont need a fan brining in fresh air thats a complete waste. Passive air intakes are actually more efficient and also.. free :p

In my room 4x600 watter's with 1x8 inch canfan, i.m.h.o. a 10"will do the work for you ,and if you are able to built a manifold(lot better air flow) instead of daisy chain reflector the cooling will be lot better.In the pic 8' manifold to 4 x6'
