Kessil A150's getting very hot.

[jcm707]

Anybody else's kessil's get extremely hot? I have 4 a150s and they all get like burning hot. I accidentally touched one with my arm the other day and it left a burn. I have a kessil a360 and it doesn't get hot at all. Anything I should do to keep them cool? They are all mounted inside my hood and run for 12 hours a day

Keep the air vents and fan clear of dust and have sufficient air flow through your canopy. I will usualy vacuum the air vents once a month to keep the dust from building up.

Yeah I used to spray mine with the cleaner till it ran out. Is there a way to open it up to clean it up more?

There is a way to open them up but with the lights off, a squirt or two of compressed air is usually all that is needed to get anything settled on the inside.
