Heres an idea for a grow cabinet that I came up with. I was thinking about the heat that HPS and MH lights give off, but the wonderful spectrum they produce is just too much of a benefit. SO naturally everyone works around the heat. Well, If I created a cabinet that had a method of separating the lighting section from the growing section, while not effecting the lumens per foot, and be able to maintain the temperature of the grow room without having to also counter the tremendous heat of the lights, then indoor growing with such hot lights would no longer be such a problem. The method I came up with uses cool water running on a couple of fish tank pumps, setup in a sealed tank (which would actually be quite inexpensive to make) which would be mounted in between the lights and the plants. Using glass and water would not block any of the light, and would actually probably magnify the rays considerably. Not to mention, since theres a constant supply of cool water running in between the glass and the plants, it would actually be cool enough to have plants grow right into the top of its compartment so you would literally never have to worry about burning your plants. I just thought this up, thought some people might be intrigued, heres a drawing of it:
