I like the approach. If you are gonna do it, do it and dont mess around. Still not sure how your sklylite fits into the equation.

Forget about it when factoring in your light equations. I am curious...

How can the skylight affect your lighting? You gonna put a 1000W HPS in there...are you letting any light escape the environment? The grow area should be pretty much light tight.
