Thanks for the reply, born2kill. That makes sense, and thats pretty much what I thought transformers did. I also understand now why I was safe from the sockets. Even though I admit I didnt get it until the moment I was writing this post and reviewed your first reply.

As you said, they are (were, since I changed my entire setup yet again) seperated from me: they were suspended in midair and the cord ran straight to the outlet. Makes perfect sense and I thank you for clarifying the difference. It may very-well save my life down the line!

Yes, I have changed the configuration again. I ditched the CFLs and installed a 150Watt HQI 6400K Metal Halide fixture. Ive had it for a while, I just never thought of a way I could install it in the cabinet. It was one of the fixtures intended for use in aquarium applications: in a gigantic housing way to obtrusive for use in my tiny grow-space. I gutted the thing and was left with nothing but the reflector and double-ended socket assembly. And that was all I needed.

I also bought one of those Pyrex Bake-A-Rounds and when I get it I will use it to make a cool-tube. When I start flowering I will switch the MH for a HPS. Got a few weeks, at least, till then.

Fuck, I may just save the cool-tube idea till I get the HPS, because the misting is working GREAT to keep the heat down. Here's some updated pics of how I have it setup now.

Also, some current temp records:

(granted, this is at night when it's the coolest: current house temp @1:59AM 83.3/58%)

First reading is from sensor mounted at just a few inches above plant leaf-level.

Second reading is from sensor mounted just a few inches below light (near hottest point AWAY from misters)

First spraying at 1:09 AM; 88.3/53% & 90.5/49%
Next reading at 1:13 AM; 80.6/68% & 90.3/52%
Next at 1:17 AM; 82.2/64% & 90.1/50%
Next at 1:22 AM; 84/61% & 90.6/49%
Next at 1:27 AM; 86.3/56% & 90.6/49%
Next at 1:32 AM; 87.8/63% & 91.4/47%

Sprayed automatically at 1:32 AM when temps were 87.8/63% & 91.4/47%

Cycles have continued steadily since then.

Im happy to see the temps staying on the low-end of the 90s even at the hottest area of the cabinet. Thanks everyone for your continued interest and let me know if you have any other questions. Ill keep you all updated on the progress of this experiment.

Peace.
