Bleh! Soory, missed that. Guess we on the same page, then!

hehehe... When I salvaged and mounted the squirrel cage fan out of a trashed microwave, my closet temps shot down from high 80s to upper 60's. I only run the fan if I notice the temp in mid to upper 80's. I think I may have enough ventilation to put a small HPS in there. There's a few 75W to 150W HPS "security lights" I can "snag" down the alleys...

Only problem is, it vents into the kitchen. Right now, with CFTs, I can defo smell it when I walk out of the entry foyer into my apt. If/when I go HPS, I imagine that smell will only get worse. I still have to find another chunk of pipe & elbow to vent it to the kitchen exhaust, which vents to the roof.
