the heat would be monstrous in that size of a closet, like jumping into a sauna with a bonfire ok maybe not that bad but still pretty heavy

1000w could cover a 6x6 area adequately, probably even more.

Get a 600W and look into getting some ducting and putting a fan in it, placing the ducting near the light and suck the heat out of the room if you can. 600W still makes the temperature in my grow room (its a full sized bedroom) rise to about 90 (goes down to 75 when its off).

If you had a room to use the 1000 on a celling fan with the motor governed at a close to stand still speed would flower alot of crops but you need the room

Either light will require fan venting in that area. I get very little heat from my 1000 watters or my 600 watters but I grow in rooms no less then 8x8x8.Make sure you buy a digital switchable setup as for the fe extra bucks it will save you tons of money over using magnetic ballasts with 2 ballast. New 600 watt digital switchables are only $119 new and burn both hps and mh bulbs no need for conversion use 30% less electricity, are silent weight about 4 lbs and give off 25% more light.

oh and the general rule is 400 watts for 3x3 area 600 for 4x4 and 1000 watter for 5x5 area anything outside those doesnt get equal lighting
