and how strong is that fan. 6'' inlines are some power . but i tend to use three small fans to get circulation... hecka cool.

get a small fan below the light blowing air up so the the heat from the light will go up.
It reduces my temps quite nicely.

Hot air rises anyway , your fan is fine for hot air exhaust , i take it you have fresh air coming in ???

It will rise, but it takes time until it does.
Trust me, a fan blowing the heat from the light up does help.
