anyone using a growlush fan with a speed controller

[staunch_1]

Yes I know there shit house fans but I have had these since my first indoor grow attempt.didnt want to spend a shitload on my first try.since then I moved outdoors as I'm out bush and there's no better condition then outside in summer.I have 2 8" growlush fans setup in my 1.2 x 1.2 2m high tent.they are fine during the day but just alittle on the noisey side at night so I'm thinking of grabbing a smscom dual fan speed controller.I've heard crap fans let out a humming noise so I take it the growlush fans will.how loud is the humming compared to full speed on a 8" growlush fan.dont really want to hand over thatmsuch money for a temp control unit if the humming is as loud as the fan at full speed.I will be upgrading after this grow.

I have a 6' one and fan speed controller, so far have had no issues with them.

 

With grow lush stuff i think the biggest issue ppl had was there ballests and globes arnt very good.

 

Oh and there carbon filters just dont cut it as well i have found, it was ok for veg but once in bud it dident do what it was ment to and the smell was getting through...

Cant find any videos on YouTube of buzzing

The one u see on ebay with the red switch on it is the one i have.

 

Dont know about any hum or buzz from it i dont stand near it and listern.

 

I do know that a speed controller can have a hum to it dont know why it dose it can happen for some ppl it is a issue but for most i dont think it is...

Cheers mate I now which one your talking about.I'm planning to grab a smscom dual unit.pretty sure the noise comes from the fan not controller.sounds like you have barely any noise

Same as Ozzy here with the controller & i have a growlush 6" centri

 

the fan dose have a slight hum that is there all the time but you only

notice the hum when fan speed/noise is decreased to round half way

but we are talking a very slight hum, outside my room i hear fan noise more so then any hum  

 

If noise is your concern have a look at some video's on recording studio builds ,

like http://youtu.be/jkSj4Ntd0PQ if you can be bothered sitting though it he has some good info

Would you be able to run both fans on one fan speed controller?
