So I brain farted and ordered a 6 bulb EnviroGrow T5 fixture...... that was almost exactly the same size as the inside of my cabinet. Looking at the fixture there looks to be enough open area in the hood to allow air to pass through it. The current venting configuration is this. I have just over 6sq inches of passive ventilation opening in the bottom of the cab and a 4" inline duct fan pulling hot air from the top of the cab. There is only about 2" of clearance from the top of the light fixture to the ceiling of the cabinet. I can hear the fan bog noticeably when i close the cab doors. So more passive intake area is obviously needed. But I'm not seeing how a little more intake room will get me from 113 freaking degrees down into the 80's. Will keep tinkering with it... but I don't want to butcher a cabinet cutting holes all in it just stabbing in the dark to see if it will work.
