  • Roof light openers.

    Do all roof light openers activate at the same temperature?

    Most have a certain amount of adjustment but this is more to ensure it closes shut I think. I don't think it could control the temperature in the greenhouse to any great accuracy. That would be better achieved by a thermostatically controlled fan with an air conditioner.

      They can be adjusted to suit the temp you want it to open, it is to do with the gas in the piston expanding & contracting, I think.

        I assume you mean auto openers on greenhouse windows? Mine is controlled by a piston which can be roughly calibrated to the temperature you want. Takes a bit of setting up each year but when sorted works very well. I have one on my roof window and side vents and have them set at slightly different temperatures which suits the ventilation for my greenhouse well.

        Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

        Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
