Might have to. I'll get my cabinet built and see what kind of space i have. At 5' 6" high. Is that high enough for the 250W? The housing is about 7-8 inchs thick. So leaving space at top to prevent a fire the highest i could raise the bottom of the lamp would be 4' 8" high. Is that enough.

On another note I hit the hardware store and got a fan control switch so I can adjust the speed on my duct fans I found. They are about 2.5" outlets which is about right. Gonna do some research and see if I can find the CFM rating on them. I suspect it's WAY more than I need for my 20ish cubic foot box. But if I get the speed control working I can lower them down to usable levels and also use them to help regulate the temperature in my box.

Slowly gathering the pieces. I want to start building but i keep getting sidetracked helping family with landscaping projects and pools.

Well, Cabinet is built. The basic shell anyways. I need to wire in the lights, whatever I end up doing, wiring in the Duct fan and controller with my charcoal filter. I'll get a pic up tomorrow of the basic cabinet so I can get feedback and suggestions.

Until then smoke'm if you got'em.
