Need to Lower the Temp in my Cab

[SMOKEnCHOKE]

Cool.
I was talking to chronisseur about this jsut yesterday. We were trying to figure out if it would be practical to build a seedling/breeding box with the lights totally isolated from the plants by a piece of Lexan (obviously using flouros), and do the exhaust for that section separately. Like a combination air-cooled hood and microgrow in one.
Could be worth a try anyway; heat in small grows is a real killer.

If I can get my phone cam working or some other cam I can get pics of exactly what your talking about.

This one is two different rubber maid containers. Plants in bottom container and lights in the top. In the top there is a piece of 1/8 inch lexan and a 4 inch duct fan for exhaust with passive intake. With 8 CFL's in the top, the bottom stays at room temp with only 1 PC fan for exhaust.

Need to Lower the Temp in my Cab i have 4 23wattCFLs and a 15W.....2 fans are goin...i got two 2.5" holes in the bottom for cold air to come in....the heat has to rise through four 2.5"holes in the board the lights are mounted to, and then through anouther four 2.5" holes in the board the fans are sitting on....then they are blowing out two holes in the back....i cant seem to keep my cab under the 30 degrees mark...its usually around 30-32....any suggestions on how to keep it cooler? does it need more air holes in the bottom?
