So today i started ripping out the interior of my future flowering chamber (previously my vocal recording booth) .. I am going to installing all the hardware that i have picked up for it but i need a little help with the reflector..
i was given this 430 watt hps for free .. but the reflector it comes with has no ventilation system.. how would i modify this so that i could pull air from a filter, to the light, then to the fan and out...
i would imagine i would have to seal the light with glass somehow.. and then cut holes in either end to hook duct adapters to.. but im a major pot head and when i start thinking about it my mind just gets all fizzy and starts to cramp and then i get a weird craving for hot dogs and chocolate chip cookies.. oh yeah i was saying, if anybody has done something like this or has come across a DIY post it would be greatly appreciated if u could lend a hand..

---- "the booth"
as you can see i removed all of the sound proofing paneling but theres still some insulation to rip out.. this booth is constructed out of 2 x 4 frame and drywall.. it stands freely with its own four walls ( not connected to any structural walls ) .it is also on a 6" base raising it off of the cold cement floor... interior dimensions are about 7' high.. 4.5' deep.. 3' wide.. (havent measured but will)..
i plan on putting 2 10 gallon rubbermaid containers that have 2 fabricated dividers in them to create 3 - 3.33 gal sections to house one plant each giving a total of 6 plants under a 430watt hps
------- the lamp
heres the lamp.. any help with venting this would be great
