    Cooling fan install on a hood (96 powerquad or other)

    Cooling fan install on a hood (96 powerquad or other)
    I own a Corlife 96W powerquad PC light. It has 2 small coolign fans in it that I removed to clean tonight. They were dirty as anyhting. Well I clened them up and went to re-install and I forgot which way the aifrlow is supposed to go..
    Both fans are on the left side of the light and on the right side there are two opening that are the same exact size but they have no fan in them....
    Should I have the air flow goign from outside to inside or should I have the fans setup to blow air from inside the light to the outside??

    Inside to outside. Sorry I am a little late, I thought I posted to this, this morning!!! Obviously, I need to pick up my coffee intake.

    I went the other way. Seems liek most people that own the light said they have the fans blowing out but using some science and math I have decided to push air into the fixture.... Seems to be working to keep the housing cool so I will leave it alone.
