what will the temp in Fahrenheit will be for x2 300w CFL lights? i am havin probs with my 600w hps + cooltube.. too hot.... do you think i can achieve 80dF with my new x 2 300cfls?

closet (3ft x 4ft x 7 ft high) ventilated with a desk fan too.

Need more info. How are you venting with the 600w HPS? What is the CFM of the fan? How is it setup - does it vent from the grow room into the fan and out of the closet? To where? Where does the input air originate?

You may be able to solve your fan problems without changing your lights.

Killer your best bet is to upgrade you fans. I'd drop the computer fan and get like a 10 to 15inch fan in there especially when running a hps in there. But it's never to bad to have a few fans in there. Were are you exsauting the hot air to? Is it in the same room being recycled? Also at walmart I'd look into a portable AC unit you can get.... They work the charm.

i already had 2 separate holes in my wall leading to the outside... all exhausted air is going outside and i have a tube connected to the hole which brings cool air in...

my extractor that pushes air through the cool tube extracts at 187 m3/h (meters cubed per hour) extract rate.

187 is low isnt it? i want to get the RVK 150E2-A1 which is- Flow extraction: 420 m3 per hour .. but it should very loud! and i cant have it this loud!... i have a silencer too but i think that the device will be humming loud!

Deal with the fan issue. That computer fan just won't cut it. You don't need to get a jet engine in there, just a small inline will do. Take a look at Panasonic Whisperline fans. They make some smaller units that are very quiet and would likely meet your needs. Best prices I've found are at westsidewholesale.com

why are you mentioning that i am using computer fans? lol.. i never said that once...
