what would you guys do If you had a box that was 5feet high....3 feet across...and 2 1/2 feet wide...Had a 400w. HPS light that made the temp soar to like 97degrees tops? what type of cooling system or fans would you install?? the picture attached only reduces the temp to 90! Any Ideas? get creative guys.

Also, you have to consider odor control. For every fan, there needs to be a carbon filter or some sort of odor control so the smell doesnt seep out!

This is my predicament, I have this system, and also installed four fans but they only reduce the temp from 97 to 90degrees.

ANY IDEAS APPRECIATED

I have a similar setup as that, and I spent a lot of money on cooling. I had 3 exhaust all with 6" inline fans and 2 intakes, both with inline fans as well. This took me temp out of the 100's and and put it in the low 90's. Of course this isn't acceptable. My final solution was a good old box fan and a window air conditioner. I took off the door for the box and have the box fan blowing in the air from the a/c. It might sound expensive to get an a/c for cooling, but for $150 I keep my lights at 10" from the tops and 78 degree.

that sounds about right. Someone posted about a/c's and got me thinking thet that is probably the final solution, work for a month and save up for enough for a/c! im just suprised that I havent read anything about the high temp output of HPS and the fact that its near impossible to get rid of the heat!
