    7000btu a/c unit

    o damn thats way to much power for my liking . the light itself did not suck, it works great, i meant the heat issue i was having sucked. it turned two of my plants hermie and the others were showing severe signs of heat stress ( the leaves were wilting and droopy) i have a piece of tempered glass over my reflector and it was a good 2 feet awayu from the cannopy and still caused the problems. i wanted to do a cool tube set up but i have no where to vent the hot air too. would the cool tubes alone be enough to keep it cool or what do you suggest? thanks

    Check the a/c unit's efficiency ratings... that'll give you a good power-consumption figure.
