2-150w or 250w HPS lighting and heat

So I want to start growing in a box around 2-3' width, 3' length, 5' height. I'm debating between two 150w or one 250w HPS light. There are obvious advantages to having two lights, one being able to have multiple light sources and fuller lighting but what kind of heat would two 150w lights put out inside a box versus just one 250w? I don't have much knowledge on the heat production of these type of lights.

one 150w. :)

You can get a nice 150w system (ballast / reflector / bulb included) from High Tech Garden Supply for like $94.



High Tech Garden Supply is another 150 watt HPS for only $69.75



P.S. 1000bulbs.com has some raw ballasts for only $40 something. If you can find me a way to get them cheaper let me know! I already ordered the $69 one though... it's in the mail.
