To simply answer our lights produce half the heat of a standard air-cooled 1000-watt HPS and two-thirds less heat than a 1000-watt DE HPS. The BTUs produced by our LX60 light at max output is up to 2150 BTUs. One factor to also consider while LEDs do run cooler, your grow-room environment should run between 80-85 degrees fahrenheit. This will also ease the workload on your HVAC.
