LED lighting and some fans. CFLs if led is out of the question, still need a fan or two. Led is definitely better than cfl, and if you're handy you could build it yourself to your exact needs.
 
Thanks for the reply. I am currently using CFL's and a 50 CFM exhaust fan to move the stale/hot air out (it is sort of overkill in the CFM dpt. and 4 sones loud) but anyways, I still need to add an intake fan or two. I also have 2 fans circulating air inside a 6" and a 4". If you have a long dresser about 3.5' high, I gutted the drawers and made a solid piece to fill the space light tight. there is a divider between the two sides also light tight and allows me to have two chambers on different timers. so now you can sorta get an idea of what I'm working with. pics to come soon.

just make sure you have a new air exchange of 10 sec for area. tell by cfm's ; your right. there is a formula to determine # of fans in growing area ; need size of

I had heat issues my box sits in a garage where temps are consistently getting up to 100 F I took a small ac i had in my bedroom gutted the electronics put on a thermostat with energy saver mode pulled the condenser out the front and put it in a bucket of water then i sealed the temp sensor and stuck it in the bucket set the thermostat to 62 i used a heater core placed in the bucked and pumped my res threw it water temps never go above 62 i then put a water pump in the bucket and connected a computer server radiator to it and i pump the cold water threw the radiator and my air temp stayed around 78- 79 F while the are lights on you can see the bucket on the ground to left of the cabinet and server cooler mounted to the back of the box with water lines attached just shouting out a idea for cooling thats worked perfect for me
