It came with a balast and hood. That one adds up to 165 when you add on a hps bulb, hanger, and reflector. I think i got the 600 watt version of that light though

Say bro, unless your grow area is directly air conditioned its gonna get hot with a regular hood, I made the mistake of not getting a cool tuve or vented hood first go round,

I don't use cool tubes or vented hoods and I don't recommend them, because they're too inefficient. Not only do they block a significant fraction of the light but they don't even do a solid job of removing heat!

Good ventilation is key; pull from above the hood at the top of the room and you should be fine.

That is what I do, but unfortunately I can only run 1 light doing so, and I just dont have the money for a mini split right now. Lol my temps stay between 77-88

66f is too cool for good growth. Optimum leaf surface temperature for growth is 86f, which in practice means low 80s for a room with good circulation and air movement.

As the air warms RH will fall, so that's not an issue. It's actually the plant's job to convert as much of the heat and light output from the bulbs into humidity as possible, so keep in mind that a room full of big healthy plants will run cooler and much damper than an empty one with all those lights on.
