cooling fans

[bgbdwlf2500]

anybody know of any good, cheap cooling fans? (less than 20.00) going to mount something on my new light but everything im finding is over 20.00 (not that that is terrible). any suggestions?

Key thing is find the most CFM, with the least db's...

I found for Coralife aqualights that Silenx (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/5220/fan-249/SilenX_40x40x10mm_-_14dBA_-_5CFM_iXtrema_Pro_Fan_with_Fluid_Dynamic_Bearings_ IXP-11-14.html?tl=g33c165s352)are a decent amount of flow and very quiet, but in your case you will have to find out what size it is....

You're very welcome.

Yeah, here they're over by the light bulbs, kinna have their own section (seasonal type section because in the winter time it's where they display the heaters).

Heres the larger version of the fan. The smaller one looks a lot like it, but is only 4" around (the blades are 4" the cage around it is probably 5-6" in diameter, which if it's too large you can simply remove the cage).

If you're having trouble finding them and can't get a better solution, let me know and I'll send you a couple of them.

I know you are in VA, so this won't help you(sorry).

Tanner Electronics has tons of salvage electronic equipment including an array of 12VDC and 110 VAC fans. They will power them up for you to test the output and noise level. Their website doesn't have a catalog since their inventory is so fluid, but you should be able to find a fan (that is, if you're in the area). www.tannerelectronics.com (http://www.tannerelectronics.com).
They are in Carrollton.
