yeah, i'm not even using a box or cabinet or anything, so i'm thinking ventelation shouldn't be too much of a concern. I just basically built a frame, and covered it with reflective emergency blankets. But maybe I should still get a fan?

I just went to home depot and bought a cheap four-bulb "vanity" strip, which I plan on putting four Compact Flourescents, each with 2600 lumens. However, when I tried to buy the bulbs my card told me I had no more money......damn student budget.

more feedback from those with experience would be much appreciated!
