A 35fpm exhaust fan in a 1'x1'10"x2' cabinet with a 6 inch circulating fan next to intake and frozen bottles to help bring temp down.

3 bulb vanity fixture with a Y slip in the middle one for a total of 4 23watt CFL's a mix of 2700k and 6500k. Because of heating problem am forced to use only 2 to keep under 90F.

At night the temp is perfect along with humidity. During the day it skyrockets, with house temp at 75F and cabinet temps at near 90's.

Pictures coming soon

If its 90 you should be fine. Not a lot you can do in a cabinet except pump as much fresh air in as possible.
