Lighting heat emission concern * 1
    #26633825 - 04/28/20 08:33 AM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hello.

I'm planning to store my bulk boxes within wardrobe. 3 boxes per shelf, 6 boxes total.

Each shelf is D50 x W78 x H38 [cm] while boxes are 38 x 25,5 x 27,5 [cm]. This leaves 10cm spare room on top of them. I was thinking about mounting 18W 6500K 60cm fluorescent tube light over each set of boxes to provide 12/12 light cycle.

Fluorescent tube light

Given that wardrobe will be closed for majority of the time, wouldn't it cause problem with overheating?

Based on this research https://www.e3s-conferences.org/articles/e3sconf/pdf/2017/07/e3sconf_eems2017_01024.pdf similar bulb managed to increase temperature within closed environment on average of 20C within 1h. Environment was almost 8x smaller, but I can see how it would affect the boxes in longer runs.

I've came across numerous posts here saying to stay away from LEDs, but in my situation it seems like more rational option because of much lower heat emission coefficient (0.08 vs 0.31).

LED alternative

Or am I just being paranoid?

I use LEDs and the heat is very little. I search for 6500k, 5000lm LED lights.

There are 4 and 6 packs on Amazon with additional connector cables that work.

I dont think it will be a heat issue but u shouls not completely close the closet so that FAE can work on your tubs.
