the lamp does get quite a bitter hotter than any of the other blubs i have, but thats to be expected.

heat isn't much of a issue right now. I have 2 fans one intake and one exhaust. you cannot see them in the pictures.

i think i have enough light after i also install the 85watt cfl, True watts.

temps have been staying in the upper 70's so far.

i think this new light setup is going to work pretty well, cause i have the flor's tubes following up the plant now. and my bright lights up top, then on the other side are the cfl's 30watt spot light from the other side. I don't think there is any leaf now that doesn't get lots of light. Hopefully they will start to TAKE off with the extra light.

any advice to how it all setup?, all lights are on timers, set for the same time, 2 fans, 120mm pc intake, 120pc exhaust (about 260cfm)
help me make my area better :-)
