I bought the 6 inch fan with a 5x5 foot grow tent due to being recommended by . This thing is an over-kill for my use, on the lowest setting; it literally sucks in the walls of the tent, this is with with three 6 inch holes opened for air intake - it is very powerful. It is also somewhat loud, with the room door closed, you can hear it humming away.I give this a five star due to it being very well made, but if you are using this for cooling lights in a grow tent, you may only need the 4 inch version.
