If your planning on a sealed room id get a 2 ton mini split or a chiller pricey but worth it!Heat is a huge enemy! with the mini split you could run 2000 watts easy but you gotta add co2 to a sealed room!With all air cooled lights you colud run 4000 watts with 24ooo btu s hope this helps

Awesome info. I was trying to figure out how to cool my lights because my apartment is dicks about having stuff in the window. Thanks
