How big of a fan need to air cool 4 1,000 watt bulbs?

Does it matter much if the ducting is in a straight line or going in a circle?

The circle way is the easiest - where 4 lights form a box and they are all connected and the intake and exhaust are near each other.
 
8" fan should be fine for 4 x 8" cool tubes. I am running that for 3 years now. I also have fans for heat in the room. Running the tubing around is fine remember air will flow faster with less bends.

make sure the intake and exhaust are not near each other, you don't want to suck the hot air back in.

Temps out side here run from -30 to + 98

Peace

i'll try to extend the exhaust further away. unfortunately the only place to exhaust or intake is from the same entrance.
