Hesitation over insulating space

Hi all,

I am trying to cool SWIM's grow room, since it typically will reach 94-97 degrees in summer, but cools off very quickly when the sun goes down. The daytime weather outside is only like 84-88. He has been told to try using insulation (the pink foam stuff). His only worry is that heat may trickle in anyway, albeit much slower, and then the heat will not be able to dissipate when the sun goes down, but rather be trapped in the room which will consequently stay too hot well past sunset and past the time it is usually cooled off in the evening.

Does anyone have experience doing this, or can provide an explanation that can bring him peace of mind in installing this, and ensure that the room will stay cooler throughout the day?

Thank you very much!!

Also, the lamp is air cooled and does not add to the heat, he has already tested that. Light off mid-day is still mid 90's.
