Will the Duct Fan Cool This Light?

your cutting it close. im gonna say as long as you are venting your heat out of the closet and bringing in cooler air (cooler than ambiant growroom temps) then that fan should be ok. (Also fan will be siqnificantly less effecient if your using it with a carbon filter AND venting your hood as opposed to just venting your hood). If your not venting your heat away you will probably have heat issues. If your intake is not adequate in regards to poor air flow and/or not cool enough air, then that fan wont do the trick either. Battle the heat!.. you could always crack a window but beware of lingering smells. :)

Yea, im going to be venting under my house, and i plan on rigging the ducting so that it goes into a drainage pipe, that leads underground.

So i wont need a carbon filter, just something to move the air out of the closet.

That looks like a duct booster fan that I got from home depot when I first started trying to cool my 400 watt hps. The results were not so great and I have since replaced it with a real 4" (smaller ducting and no reducers) inline fan. You get what you pay for and that space is going to heat up fast.

I dont think i should have too much of a problem.

The cooltube should help alot.

I had the same problem, sorta, I run a 400w system in my 4x2x7 closet room I built, but I put in a bathroom exhaust first didn't work, temps were still in the 90's, built my on cool tube, it has a 6in inline duct fan, scaled down to 4in on both sides, running a 8in inline fan to bring in fresh air, and running my homemade cooltube temp stays at 72, and thats not running the bathroom exhaust fan either, so I telling that fan will work, got the same one, hehe

Nice. Thats the same dimensions, and setup and scale and everything that im going to be using. You read my mind:blsmoke:

Nice to know that it works! How many girlies can you fit under that setup?
