HPS Cooling Requirements for My Space

So my flowering area is roughly 2 1/2 ft tall by 2 ft wide by 1 1/2 ft long. I know it's a very small space, but I plan on doing a micro SoG. Would it be possible to keep it cool enough for a 150 watt HPS? How many fans would I need, and what else could I do to keep it cool in there?

150wt does not produce that much heat, so I think a single exhaust fan would be enough.

Is the bulb attached to the ballast? If so there will be a lot of heat. The bulb by its self will still generate some heat.

I haven't purchased anything, still weighing the options. Would a 300 watt LED be better than 250 watt HPS?

Talked to the guy at the garden supply store. He was actually very honest about their LEDs, he said don't buy the horse shit about a 120 watt LED being comparable to a 400 watt HPS. He said, go by the wattage and that the LEDs are SLIGHTLY more efficient with their light. His final opinion was that a 300 watt LED, though more expensive, would be very close in comparison to the 400 watt HPS.
