well, Being I have 20 years a/c experience, I can tell you it is NORMALLY done by sq ft. 400 sq ft per ton to be exact, But we are talking about cooling a HID light and the math has been worked out a long time ago. you need a minimum of 4,000 btu's to keep a 1000 watt bulb cool.Btu has nothing to do with wattage of the light. It's square ft. I think 7500 covers 250sqft

For 0 professional HVAC experience I would say I gave decent advice.

1 ton = 12,000 btu
8x10 room =80sq ft
6,000btu is half a ton, will do 200 sq ft, NORMALLY, should be plenty to cover 80 sq ft and a 1000watt bulb
