You have a 250 watt heater. More ventilation is usually the first answer. It works best if you are drawing in cooler air because it doesn't help if the air you are sucking into the tent is also too hot. Many growers attach the intake of the ventilation fan to the side of the light to directly draw it's heat away. But, switching to LED is one of the best ways to handle a heat problem.

Si la humedad no es demasiado baja puedes poner otro ventilador y también pondría un intractor. También puedes alejar un poco las luces, es más importante mantener una temperatura adecuada que la intensidad lumínica.

Yeah either have a fan pulling the air out of the tent/room or one blowing the air in. I typically vent the air out. So I can run it through the carbon filter at the end. Less smell I found.

Hey buddy. I had a similar prob with my led light, not as extreme of course, but the driver was causing tent to go up by like 2c when lights where on. And the top driver/balist use to be sooo hot. I have a fan that blows in air with the ducting, and I moved the ducting so it more or less blew it's air over the light and into tent, tent would still expand fine with AIR. This will help cool down your bal massively you'll notice the dif after 30mins. DM me if u need me to explain more. But basically set up the end ducting, either afix it and the it from a bar in the top of your tent or the it off so cold air blows in and hits your set up first. Worked for my 2c prob. I know it's dif but cold air is cold air. Happy growing.

install an intake fan or open a hole at the bottom so when your extraction fan is running it pulls in cooler air at the bottom
