Description
Smart Grow Tent Circulation Fans
The AC Infinity CLOUDRAY Oscillating Fan Series is designed specifically for indoor growers who need powerful, adjustable and reliable air circulation throughout grow tents and controlled cultivation environments.
Unlike conventional household clip fans, CLOUDRAY fans are purpose-built for horticultural environments. They combine brushless EC motor technology, durable internal components, multiple digital fan speeds, dynamic wind modes and secure grow tent pole mounting.
CLOUDRAY S Series models add automatic oscillation with multiple adjustable oscillation ranges, allowing growers to concentrate airflow on a specific area or distribute it across a wider plant canopy.
Available in multiple sizes and configurations, AC Infinity CLOUDRAY fans provide a scalable solution for everything from seedlings and compact grow tents to dense flowering canopies and larger indoor gardens.

Why Air Circulation Matters in a Grow Tent
Air circulation and air extraction perform two different jobs.
An inline exhaust fan exchanges air between the grow tent and the surrounding environment.
A circulation fan moves the air within the grow tent and around the plants.
Without sufficient circulation, stagnant pockets can develop around dense foliage and between plants.
Strategically positioned CLOUDRAY fans can help move air:
Above the Canopy + Through the Canopy + Around Plants + Beneath the Canopy
This helps create a more consistent growing environment while providing gentle physical movement to plant stems and foliage.
Adjustable Oscillation
One of the major advantages of the CLOUDRAY S Series is adjustable automatic oscillation.
Rather than simply providing a basic oscillation function, S Series models offer multiple oscillation ranges so growers can control the area covered by the fan.
Targeted Airflow
A narrower oscillation range can concentrate circulation on a specific section of the growing area.
This is useful when:
- Plants occupy only part of the tent
- A specific canopy area requires additional circulation
- The fan is positioned close to plants
- Grow equipment needs to be avoided
- Airflow needs to be directed away from tent walls
Wide Canopy Coverage
A wider oscillation setting distributes airflow across a greater section of the growing environment.
This is particularly useful for:
- Larger grow tents
- Wide plant canopies
- Multiple plants
- Dense vegetative growth
- Flowering environments
- Larger indoor gardens
Adjustable oscillation allows growers to make better use of the fan's airflow instead of wasting circulation against unused tent walls.
10 Digital Fan Speeds
CLOUDRAY fans provide 10 digital speed settings, allowing airflow to be adjusted according to plant size, growth stage and environmental requirements.
Seedlings & Young Plants
Young plants generally require gentler airflow than established plants.
Lower fan settings can provide subtle circulation around seedlings and young plants without subjecting delicate foliage to excessive direct airflow.
Vegetative Growth
As plants establish stronger stems and larger leaves, airflow can be progressively increased.
Oscillating circulation helps distribute moving air throughout the developing canopy instead of continuously directing it at one plant.
Flowering
Large flowering plants can develop dense canopies where maintaining consistent air movement becomes increasingly important.
Higher fan settings and wider oscillation can help distribute airflow across and through the canopy.
Dynamic Wind Modes
CLOUDRAY fans also feature dynamic wind modes designed to vary airflow intensity.
Instead of producing exactly the same breeze continuously, the fan can fluctuate its output to create changing air movement.
This provides a more natural style of circulation compared with constantly directing a fixed-speed stream of air at the plants.
Dynamic airflow can be particularly useful when growers want plant movement without maintaining maximum fan output continuously.
Brushless EC Motor Technology
CLOUDRAY circulation fans use an efficient brushless EC motor engineered for extended operation.
EC motor technology provides several benefits for indoor cultivation.
EC Motor Benefits
- Energy-efficient operation
- Quiet performance
- Precise speed adjustment
- Reduced motor heat
- Smooth low-speed operation
- Suitable for extended operating periods
This is particularly important for circulation fans because they may operate for many hours every day throughout an entire crop cycle.
Durable Internal Construction
Oscillating fans experience additional mechanical stress because the fan continuously changes direction during operation.
CLOUDRAY models are engineered with durable internal components including carbon steel gearing and dual-ball bearings.
This construction is designed around the demands of continuous grow-tent circulation rather than occasional household use.
IP54-Rated Construction
Grow tents can be demanding environments for electrical equipment.
Humidity levels can become elevated, temperatures fluctuate and fans may operate continuously for extended periods.
Current CLOUDRAY designs feature an IP54-rated construction, helping make them better suited to demanding indoor horticultural environments than ordinary household clip fans.
Heavy-Duty Grow Tent Pole Clamp
CLOUDRAY fans use a purpose-built mounting clamp designed for grow tent poles.
The pole-mounted configuration provides several advantages:
- Saves valuable floor space
- Keeps fans away from irrigation equipment
- Allows airflow height to be adjusted
- Makes canopy positioning easier
- Provides a clean installation
- Reduces equipment clutter around plant containers
The fan can be repositioned as plants increase in height.
Flexible Fan Positioning
CLOUDRAY fans provide adjustable positioning to help growers direct airflow where it is actually required.
Depending on the model and installation, the fan can be positioned for circulation:
- Across the upper canopy
- Through the middle canopy
- Beneath the canopy
- Across propagation trays
- Between multiple plants
- Toward areas with reduced air movement
This flexibility becomes particularly useful as plant structure changes throughout the crop cycle.
AC Infinity UIS Compatibility
Compatible CLOUDRAY models can form part of the wider AC Infinity UIS environmental-control ecosystem.
When connected to an appropriate UIS controller, growers can access additional automation and programming functionality.
Smart Control Options
Depending on the controller and configuration, options can include:
- Fan-speed control
- Timers
- Schedules
- Grow-cycle programming
- Environmental triggers
- Automated operation
- Remote management
- App-based control
This allows circulation fans to become part of a broader automated indoor growing environment.
AC Infinity CLOUDRAY Models
The CLOUDRAY family includes both manual-position and automatic oscillating models, allowing growers to choose according to their airflow requirements.
CLOUDRAY A Series
The A Series provides adjustable circulation with manual fan-head positioning.
These models are ideal where airflow needs to remain directed toward a specific area.

Which CLOUDRAY Should You Choose?
Choose a CLOUDRAY A Series model when you want consistent airflow directed toward a particular section of the growing area.
Choose a CLOUDRAY S Series model when you want the fan to automatically sweep airflow across the canopy.
For growers specifically searching for an AC Infinity oscillating fan, the S Series provides the automatic oscillation functionality they are looking for.
Using Multiple CLOUDRAY Fans
One powerful fan isn't always the best way to circulate air through a dense grow tent.
Larger canopies can benefit from multiple fans positioned at different heights.
Upper Canopy Circulation
An oscillating fan positioned around canopy height can move air across the leaves and upper plant structure.
Lower Canopy Circulation
A second fan can be positioned lower in the tent to move air beneath the canopy and between containers.
Using multiple circulation points can help minimise stagnant areas without requiring one fan to operate continuously at maximum speed.
CLOUDRAY vs CLOUDLINE
CLOUDRAY and CLOUDLINE perform different functions within an indoor growing environment.
CLOUDRAY Circulation Fans
CLOUDRAY fans move air around inside the grow tent.
They are primarily used for:
- Canopy circulation
- Plant movement
- Reducing stagnant air
- Moving air between plants
- Upper and lower canopy airflow
CLOUDLINE Inline Fans
CLOUDLINE fans exchange air between the grow tent and the surrounding environment.
They are primarily used for:
- Exhaust
- Fresh-air exchange
- Heat extraction
- Humidity management
- Carbon-filter extraction
- Negative pressure
For a complete ventilation strategy, growers will commonly use CLOUDLINE extraction together with CLOUDRAY circulation.
