The lamp spec sheet says- Cooling- forced cooling (fan);min. air flow at bases:1,5m/sec? What measument is that?? I was planing on putting a fan at the top that I have that has 107cfm spec, would that be enough? Should I position another fan at the base of the lamphouse blowing air across the lamp?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-13-2004 09:57 AM                     The linear speed of the air is what the lamp manufacturer speced 1.t metre per sec the fan is is in volume rate cubic feet per minute  |  IP: Logged Paul Trimboli Master Film Handler Posts: 274 From: Perth Western Australia Registered: Dec 2002 posted 06-14-2004 08:36 AM                     So what would my CFM measurement be for that lamp?
