Actively cooled my Tek Light with a jet engine

[kwirky]

I've been home, in bed for the most part, with four wisdom teeth recently removed and pretty much bored out of my mind, unable to talk.

My sunlight supply tek light fixture was working just perfectly, so yesterday I thought it would be sensible to void it's warranty

I cut a blowhole in the top (think homer simpson "speed hole") and attached a 120mm 90cfm AC fan to it, blowing cool air down into the fixture. I read grim's review of the ATI fixtures, and how he figured the active cooling increased the T5's light output by 30-60%.

I didn't have a light meter to see if mine improved or not but it was SO noisy that I unplugged the fan and gave up. I have to rethink my cooling solution. I'm thinking peltier heatsinks lining the backs of the reflectors
