Airflow and ventilation
Whatever position the grow light is fixed always ensure there is adequate
room for airflow around the heatsink to prevent heat buildup. There should
be at least 5cm or 2” clearance on three sides of the heatsink.
The heatsink is a ‘fast flow’ passive heatsink allowing air to move quickly over
the heatsink surface and remove the heat at a high rate.
Driver and Lamp operating temperature
Both the led bar heatsinks and led driver both operate at about 25 deg. C or
45 F above ambient temperature. So, at 25 degrees C or 77 F room temp the
driver and heatsink will be about 50 deg. C or 122 F. This is perfectly normal
and safe.
To minimize the temperature locate the driver down low at the air intake and
have the out take moving air across the heatsink.
