I have 250 watt hps that i use in my closet. Just as long as the ballast isnt in there, I can put the light 8 inches from my plant tops without burning, or bleaching the leaves. The Temps are pretty stable too and heat has never been an issue.

They make 175 watt versions too that create even less heat. Ive done grows with t5's and honestly the improvement in growth when i switched to HID lighting was tremendous.
