ATI Sunpower Fans are Loud

[jackson6745]

I was curious if anyone runs their sunpower without the fans running? The fans are the loudest things on my whole system. They are functioning normally compared to other ATI's that I've seen/had.
Can I damage the unit by not running fans? I'm not worried about premature bulb life

My fans aren't loud. Run them on the 9v setting.
The cooling is the key to the whole light.

Without it, you lose par and bulb life.

i dont have the same fixture but when my light fixture fans were loud i brought new ones and swapped them out...the old ones were filled with dust.

Thanks! I had it on 12v. 9v is much more quiet.:wow:

Bulbs should run mid 90 degrees on the ends and 120's at the center of the bulb.

Also. The label end of the bulb goes on the opposite end from the exhaust side

Mine are pretty loud too . . I will need to check if I can lower the voltage on mine.

Thanks for the tip.
