It's gettin too hot *vent help

The upper shelf of my closet is getting pretty hot when I close the doors. I need a ventilation system but don't know what size fans to put. I need specifications on to what to put to (intake & exhaust)

Here are the closet specifications.
*Every tube is fluorescent lighting.
*18w each, and gives out a light of 80w.
*The light is 6400k on each one.
*I'm growing 5 plants tops.
*The space I want to ventilate is
-3.3ft long, 1.2ft deep, 2.5ft tall *NOT the entire closet, just the top shelf (vegetative stage) that I'm venting.

As a whole, I just want to know where should I put the things so that it doesnt get too hot in the shelf when the doors are closed. I want to know the specifications of the fans.
Sorry for the long post, here have some weed :) :leaf::leaf::leaf:

Small axial fans are easily going to be your best bet. For that space, hec I say $30 and you are fan-tastic.......lol< I know, I know:blsmoke:

A small 4" axial fan, at about 70-100cfm and a couple of small 3" intakes( opposite side and as low as you can) and that will more than take care of that space. You could even add a small stat and probably keep the space at a nice 75-78 degrees with just the small fan and a cheap stat.

Peace and Great Grows

i would vent right out of the top, but for fans i wouldnt realy know, unless you want to get a 4 inch rvk fan, that would defonatly do the job but may even be overkill
