Apparently you managed to avoid your homework on HID lights. HPS lamps and MH alike throw off tons of heat. You're going to have to get some serious ventilation going. How large is your grow area?

You should also check out plain Air Cooled hoods. In my box with a 400 watt and an Air Cooled Hood, the lights-on temp is only 3-6 degrees F higher than ambient temperature.

I use a Bat Wing type in the Winter so I can warm it up. :joint::peace:
