well, temperatures are cooler overnight so it will certainly help, however temps are more than just whether you flower night or day, it covers intake/exhaust/lights/area/equipment being used etc etc
some things you can do however to HELP with temps
have lights on at night when temps are cooler
make sure HPS ballast is OUTSIDE the grow area
have as many fans/equipment etc as possible OUTSIDE the tent
have an intake fan blow cool air INTO tent
if you have an intake fan, cool the room it draws air from (open a window or summat)
get a coolhood and blow as much air as possible thru it as quickly as possible (preferably you would have a dedicated fan JUST for the coolhood if its possible with your setup)
open all the vents on your tent to allow air in
etc etc etc etc

do you reckon with air cooled hoods that you lose out on weight i got told a while back by some one who was using air cooled hoods that they was going back to open reflectors due to losing out on amount of weight also he was using auto pots thou and i do know from experience that auto pots lost me weight due to the smaller pots but because the hoods are cooled that would mean getting in closer to canopy but having glass in between bulb and canopy does it lose any light intensity ?

if anything ive only noticed a slight increase in yield with a cool hood as can get light closer to plants ( sometimes as little as 5-6" away) so end up with less airy bus an popcorn as light is a lot closer etc
