This hood's own specification gives 549 m³\/h with a 634 m³\/h boost, and 650 is in fact the boost figure belonging to the LAM2951 — the description appears to have been copied across from its sibling. We have quoted this hood's own figures above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowdens' lighting row is mislabelled.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their page says \u003cem\u003eLight Wattage (Per Bulb): 8W\u003c\/em\u003e with four lights, which would be 32W. All three Howdens manuals say 4 × 2W LED — so 8W is the total. Their page also gives a colour temperature range of 2700K–4000K where the manuals say a fixed 2700K, so we would not rely on the lights being tunable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLAM2952 or LAM2951?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey cost the same and share a chassis, a width and a depth. \u003cstrong\u003eThis LAM2952 is the better appliance\u003c\/strong\u003e — A+ against B, 46dB against 51dB, a native Ø150mm circular outlet against a rectangular 89 × 222mm one, and explicitly rated for recirculation as well as ducting. \u003cstrong\u003eThe only reason to choose the LAM2951 is ceiling void:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is 195mm deep against this unit's 319mm.
