i personally would never attempt to use that big of a light in a small cabinet... but if you really want to, make sure you have atleast 2 exhaust fans and a deskfan blowing on your whole setup.
I would just use CFLs in a small enclosure, that last thing you need is the fire department finding your grow. =D

wierd qeustio about heat from a 250w hps in small closet
I currently have a 250w HPS in a closet space around 8 feet high, 3 feet wide, and 2 feet long. If I keep the door closed the temperature quickly rises above 100F. I recently added an exhaust fan and now the temperaure hovers around 82F with the door closed.

wierd qeustio about heat from a 250w hps in small closet
looking back on my post i cant really remeber why i said that. i think i may have assumed you has a smaller space, probably because i was stoned. But even reading your post now, i will still say that I, personally, wouldnt put a huge hot bulb and put it inside of an enclosed cabinet and have it on all day while i wasn't home.
Unless i had a house to myself and i could openly ventilate without alerting anyone. I use an 8in desk fan AND a 3 inch CPU fan (intake) to keep my temps just under 85 degrees with the door closed... and i use CFLs!
Just giving my 2 cents.

I have a 600 watt in a closet that size, except it's about 2 1/2 meters tall. Of course you need a cool tube or enclosed hood for this, with a good fan (250 cfm, I think). If I can do this you certainly can do 250 watts. Don't ever try HID without ventalation though. Your plants will fry.

You could, but its the heat issue. All you gotta do is find a way to get rid of the heat. Have a fan blowing right up at it.

Chisme, if you look at my grows youll see how big my closet is and Im using a 250w HPS aswell. Temps are never a problem as long as the windows always open and fresh air is moving around the room.
