Jimbo,

I've got a glass enclosed reflector so the lamp air is isolated and is vented out. So i'll need another exhaust for the ambient air. I got a 4" exhaust fan last night and will probably put it in the middle of the closet....perhaps you recommend it goes on top too? Then I'll have a regular fan blowing air from the outside and on the plants.


Here's a little sketch:
