What size dehumidifier for sealed room?

Would a 45pint dehuey be enough for a 8x7x7 sealed stadium room with 3k watts. Will have AC helping with the humidity during the day but worried about the lights off. Do you think it will handle it?

Probably? I ran twice that in twice the space, and 3 x 45-pint dehueys + AC were just enough.

Id say no

I can get a 45 for cheap plus another item I need, have to buy them both together though. So dont think it will fly huh? I guess I will just go with a 70pint.

The 45 would work for all but the few weeks of the stretch.

I have a friend with a 5x11 sealed room(3'x11'canopy) w/1ton mini-split and 70pint commercial dehumidifier running 24/7 with nearly unacceptable results;50%+ humidity lights on up to 60-70% lights off, at best. This is during last week of flower, where 70% humidity is normally not a good omen.

After speaking to mfg. rep, a 3x11 canopy with a night temp below 80F will require at least a 100pint unit. At 70 degrees, a 70pint aham rated unit will only remove something like 35pints or less if my facts are straight.(Easy to check via standard calculations; I just haven't personally ran the numbers)
