    28.5w" x 47"h x 32d" is the rooms size.
    i have a 5" can fan with 3 x 3" pvc inlets.


    Would this light get to hot for my room?

    Right now I am using cfls I have

    5 26w 6500k
    5 42w 4200k.

    The temps are usually around 78-80 deg.

    I'd recommend this; 24x7 Garden Supply

    And use the CFL's along the sides for supplement light.

    Still say any 150w HPS and just throw in a couple CFL's.

    and btw a cool tube is an option because of the way the ventilation of my box is setup.

    thanks dago ill check that one out.

    and thanks justlegalize it but 150 is not enough id rather just make it easier and use one bulb.

    should I be worried about ordering a hps online and having it sent to my house?

    i am going to order the digital 400 watt from htg.

    Cooltubes are the way to go in smallish cabs!! makes cooling sooooo much easier!! my 400watt is at 76-78 degrees in a 2x2x4 cab.

    Your cab is bigger so cooling would be even easier!!

    good luck
