Great stuff, I actually just disconnected the fan and it's fine, it doesn't overheat.

Just tried on a 30' shoot.

Dimming the light does the job to be on the safe side.

These lights are not too loud but this mod is still a nice thing to do if you really MUST have the fan off...just don't turn it off for too long!
