I have to shut all the lights off and leave for about 45 minutes for it to cool off enough to come back in and then it heats back up again and I have to leave after 15 minutes again. I try to only use the lights I need in the area I'm working at the time, but I still get overheated. I can't afford those really expensive lights that are cool, unfortunately. Any suggestions?
Way back BAC (before Air Conditioning) we would take a large block of ice (purchased from the milk delivery man) put it in a tub, and then put an oscillating fan behind the tub......this moved the cool air coming off the ice in the tub.........so if you had a small cooler, and a small fan, you could so the same thing...........it really did work!
