Transform Your Grow Space with Intelligent Airflow
AC Infinity's oscillating fans combine energy-efficient EC motor technology with smart automation capabilities. Each CloudRay model syncs with their UIS platform controllers, allowing growers to set custom oscillation schedules and speed adjustments based on temperature and humidity readings.
Eliminate Microclimates with Precision Oscillation
Stagnant air pockets create disease pressure and uneven growth. AC Infinity's oscillating technology addresses this critical challenge.
- The CloudRay S6 features auto-oscillation with 10 programmable speed levels, delivering targeted airflow to every corner of your
grow tent. Its EC motor operates at near-silent levels while consuming up to 60% less energy than traditional AC fans.
- Wide oscillation patterns distribute air evenly across dense canopies, reducing moisture buildup on leaf surfaces. This constant gentle movement strengthens plant structure and accelerates transpiration rates for faster nutrient uptake.
- Clip-on mounting systems position fans at optimal heights without consuming floor space, making them ideal for compact setups or vertical growing arrangements.
Match Airflow to Your Space
Selecting the right circulation fan depends on tent size, canopy density, and integration requirements.
- For 2x2 to 4x4 spaces, the CloudRay A6 provides efficient circulation with its compact 6-inch blade and smart controller compatibility. The
CloudRay A9 steps up airflow to 450 CFM for larger 5x5 or commercial applications.
- Oscillating models like the CloudRay S6 work perfectly in tents where plants are positioned along the walls, sweeping air across the entire grow area. Pair them with
inline exhaust fans for complete climate control.
- Controller-integrated fans adjust speed automatically as environmental conditions change, maintaining VPD targets without manual intervention.
Smart Integration for Effortless Management
AC Infinity's UIS platform connects all your climate devices into one unified system.
- Program oscillating fans to increase speed during lights-on periods when transpiration rates peak, then dial back at night to conserve energy and maintain proper humidity levels.
- The Controller 69 or
Controller AI+ monitors multiple inputs simultaneously, triggering fan responses based on temperature, humidity, or VPD readings for precision environmental control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between oscillating and stationary clip fans?
Oscillating fans like the CloudRay S6 sweep side-to-side automatically, covering more canopy area with each rotation. Stationary models like the A6 and A9 point in one direction but can be manually repositioned. Choose oscillating for wall-to-wall coverage in rectangular tents, or stationary when you need concentrated airflow on specific problem areas.
How many oscillating fans do I need for my tent size?
A 2x2 or 3x3 tent typically needs one oscillating fan positioned above the canopy. For 4x4 spaces, two fans (one above, one below canopy) ensure complete air penetration. Larger 5x5 or 8x8 setups benefit from three to four strategically placed fans to eliminate dead zones.
Can I control CloudRay fans with my phone?
Yes, when connected to AC Infinity's Controller 69 Pro or Controller AI+ with Wi-Fi capability. The UIS app lets you adjust fan speeds, set schedules, and create automation triggers from anywhere. You can even set different speeds for day and night cycles.
Do EC motors really save energy compared to AC motors?
Absolutely. EC (electronically commutated) motors can reduce energy consumption by up to 60% while producing less heat and noise. Over a full grow cycle, this translates to significant savings on your electricity bill, especially when running multiple fans 24/7.
Where should I position oscillating fans for best results?
Mount your primary oscillating fan slightly above the canopy, angled downward at about 15-20 degrees. This creates gentle leaf movement without causing wind burn. Add a second fan below the canopy pointing upward to circulate air through the lower branches where moisture tends to collect. Never aim fans directly at young seedlings.
Will oscillating fans work with other brands' controllers?
CloudRay fans can operate as standalone units with their included speed control. However, smart automation features require an AC Infinity UIS controller. They won't integrate with third-party controller systems since they use proprietary communication protocols.
What's the ideal fan speed setting during different grow stages?
Seedlings need gentle airflow at speeds 1-3 to avoid stress. Vegetative plants handle medium speeds of 4-6 well, which strengthens stems. During flowering, maintain speeds 5-7 to prevent mold while supporting heavy buds. Always watch for excessive leaf flutter as a sign you need to dial it back.
Do I still need an exhaust fan if I have oscillating fans?
Yes, oscillating fans circulate air within your space but don't remove heat or odors. You need
inline exhaust fans paired with
carbon filters to exchange stale air with fresh air. Think of oscillating fans as your internal circulation and exhaust fans as your ventilation system. Both are essential.
