making a new grow room

Do you think 250 watt wall mount metal hal would get to hot in a freezer chest? I have one that i could use and im planing on buying a 250w hps for it too
Im going to make pc fan vents and what not

I will find out the cube ft when i get home im at the office right now

If it is a box of any sort you will need ventilation when using HID lights. they get super hot.

i know i need a vents but since its a wall mounted light the ballistic is built in to the light and not in a separate box. So idk if i could keep it cool with out putting some huge fan in the back.
If i did it right i think its 11.45 cube feet

you will need to seperate the bulb and ballast. get some wire that is at least as big as the wire on the socket and splice it in. I put 10 ft. extension on my 1000w mh. built a sheild with some 26 ga. sheet metal. I have never used anything but high bay lights converted like this for growing. good luck.

alright will do thanks ill see if i can find a old computer tower to use

i might just go with one of these cheap lights for now but they seems to put off alot off heat.
