Check this out everyone...
Picture this if you can

28"W x 14"D x 37"H (INCHES)

250W hps. 4" cool-tube w/50cfm fan sucking cold air in from the back side of the chamber, blowing it out of the front of the chamber into cool air. Would 50cfm be enough air circulating to cool a 250 in such a small area?

Two- 3" tubes from below allow a place for fresh air to be drawn into the chamber. How big would this out-take need to be? Are two- 3" holes big enough to allow enough air to be pulled in.

Think of this in terms of an area above the chamber with enough room to house fans/hoses/etc.

Also, how exactly can a socket be mounted onto the tube? I have seen various sites showing various ideas, I guess that will simply have to be something left unknown.

Ok y'all. what do you say?

Thanks for answering my curiosity. It helps me rest better at night.
