Default Cooling fan install on a hood (96 powerquad or other)

Cooling fan install on a hood (96 powerquad or other)

I own a Corlife 96W powerquad PC light. It has 2 small coolign fans in it that I removed to clean tonight. They were dirty as anyhting. Well I clened them up and went to re-install and I forgot which way the aifrlow is supposed to go..

Both fans are on the left side of the light and on the right side there are two opening that are the same exact size but they have no fan in them....

Should I have the air flow goign from outside to inside or should I have the fans setup to blow air from inside the light to the outside??

since you have it apart, if there is enough wire to route it safely to the other side, I'd move one fan to the other side blowing in and have one on the other sucking out. If there's not enough wire just have them both sucking air out of the fixture. sucking out blowing out .. however you wanna say it
