Mirror Temperature Monitor
https://garyseronik.com/beat-the-heat-c ... ls-part-2/
supply some nice graphs to show the difference in cooling a 1" and 2" mirror. A handy tool to monitor this process is a duel temperature monitor, these are sold in automotive accessory stores to monitor the inside and outside temperature of your vehicle. It has a "inside" and "outside" temperature display : the "outside" is measured by a remote sensor, I removed the remote sensor from its plastic housing and covered it in thermal conducting grease, the type used to mount computer CPU's. I mounted the sensor on the top side of my mirror, near its surface, with double sided tape, placing a piece of aluminium baking foil on top of the double sided tape to thermally isolate it better. According to Gary the mirror has to be within 5½°F (3°C) of the ambient air temperature to overcome thermal problems. The photo shows the bottom of my Obsession's mirror and fan housing with the monitor above that.
