This exclusive adjustable bracket allows the user to raise and lower the lamp within the interior of the reflector thus customizing light patterns. Standard HPS lamps meet listing requirements. The Ecotechniques Coolshade has been specifically designed to address the excessive heat that builds up from lamps in indoor growrooms. High temperatures or large fluctuations between day and night temperatures can have adverse effects on your plants. In addition, many plants will flower faster when the temperature is reduced a few degrees at the onset of flowering.
Many growers struggle to keep growroom temperatures within acceptable limits.
The traditional approach has been to use powerful exhaust fans to remove hot air from the growroom. This was reasonably effective, but was not without its drawbacks. The Ecotechniques Coolshade allows lamp heat to be removed directly from the growroom independently of the air which may be CO2 enriched. Growroom temperature can be reduced to normal room levels and the waste heat may be used to heat other parts of the house or piped outdoors with no objectionable orders. After hanging the coolshade, aluminum duct pipe is fitted onto both ends and the fan is attached in line with the Coolshade.
