Maxibright Maxifan 8" monkey mount fan

Good stuff im looking for a small new fan. I have a 6inch secret jardin oscillating monkey fan in their atmo and man its been in one grow and is a real bone rattler.

Yup those secret jardin fans a right noisey things. I was constantly getting pulled up in Skype calls about the wind noise I managed to blag it and put it down to a broken mic until I could replace it. I'll do a little video later so you can hear this one.

If you have an RTX video card, look into Nvidia Broadcast software, uses the RTX architecture to eliminate all sound apart from your voice. It's pretty incredible, can have a fan blowing on the mic and you talking behind it, yet it captures your voice clear as crystal with no other sound.

Also thanks for the suggestion on a mounting fan, i've stuck with a hung Honeywell HT904 but i feel i could do with another fan for the lower canopy.*

So after 4 weeks continuous use i heard a pop come from my grow cupboard when in kitchen this morning, so went checked and fan wasn`t working it stunk of burnt out electrics, long and short of it i changed fuse out and no go, bloody motor has popped me thinks, lucky i was in i suppose it coulda been worse. I've messaged guys i bought it from lets see what they say about replacing it without me needing to send the burnt out one back, cus thats in bin now less the bracket tie thingi-bob, like fuck am i gonna fuck around repacking shit to send back.

I really need a decent small fan thats as quiet a\s this one was, so whats everyone else using ? Cheers guys.

Oops :( That sucks to hear.
I feel it's always the dual motors inside rotating fans that causes the short life of these electronics.
The rotating motor just always causes issues vs static ones. I like to think of the air flow in tents a lot like inside PC cases, visualizing the convection flow of the hot/cold air and angling a static fan in juuuust the right way, has done me wonders so far.

As mentioned earlier, i just hung a static HONEYWELL HT904 at a point where it hits the middle of 4 plants (or i lower it and have it spread across a row of 4), where it spreads the air between the bottom of the pots.
I just have to keep on top of trimming leaves and rotating the plants a QTR a few times a day. My fans been going at max for 6 weeks now, i can't hear it behind closed doors and the vibration is muted due to hanging it.
I dunno how much this helps but hopefully a bit.
