what would run cooler? A 250 watt mh with remoted ballast out of cab, or, my current setup of 12 26 watt cfls. If the mh is cooler, then I don't need to aircool it! Those cfls run pretty hot!

+/- the same.
The point of 'you'd be better off with HID' comes right around 200 watts.
it will be cheaper and more effective and more lumens to have the hid lighting. it is always better to aircool/ cool any setup so you can have good happy plants close to the lights. go with the hid and use the cfl for clone and maybe some supplemental
Never mind! I can get an air cooled digital 600 watt hps AND a mh conversion bulb for my current 400watt aircooled hood for 50$ more than the 250 watt mh. looks like I'm gonna go that way! Thanks tho!
