You can not only manage this space, but dial it in to perform very well. Good news here is you can clear all the air in there very fast with minimal investment. You will need an 8 inch duct fan, in line. The thing will move a huge amount of air, you might find your door sucks shut totally. This negative pressure is great. So outlet above all heat sources like lights etc. You will need an inlet of at least six inches in size to make use of the full extraction power of the fan. You will be moving many cubic feet per minute. Many. Your outdoor temps are fantastic. You will probably be nicely surprised with a dry run once tour vents are installed. For your kind of setup, RIU user @prosperian put together the most amazing stealth room if you look him up you will be very impressed. LED... is over rated. One point people constantly forget is LED can only ever cover sixty percent the floor area HID can, you need to keep LED a lot further away from plants than cooled HID, and good LED can set you back close on 3000USD for something like a BML Spydr. Too expensive to just sort out a little bit of heat IMO. Your HID will pay for itself first run even if that run ismt all that great... Get your vents sorted now and you are almost there!

Another thing about led's.. they try to tell you they use less power but 600 watts is 600 watts If you know what I mean!
As long as you can cycle the air in the room enough all you have to worry about is darkness when need be And keeping the heat down.
I like the hood idea over the cool tube for what you have to work with.

Your going to need to ventilate that air if using a MH and/or HPS especially a 600watt within that space... Oscillating fans wont do the trick, I would really recommend you getting a slightly high powered CMF fan (maybe at least 175 CMF), with ducting to ventilate the air out of there... Or at the least a regular fan that sucks the stale/hot air our of there to create negative pressure and get fresh/cool air in. Some how, someway, otherwise, I promise you, (And I mean this with the utmost respect, as I in no way mean to offend you) but, they will die of heat stress.. I have a 10K Lumens (not sure exactly what watt) but a high powered 4 ft 4 tubed T5 Floro set up, and my temps fluctuate from 60* F To 85*!!! Just from a High Powered Floro, imagine what it'll do with a 600 watt HPS or MH? Especially in the summer times. Do as you must, but ventilation is a must when using HID indoor, especially with no window you know? Good luck bro!

I found this online ( THIS NOT MINE ) , it looks fairly simple . Shower door off to allow open venting . Fans for circulation. Light fixture suspended ( you can mount a couple of rod hangers ( u shape ) into wall above enclosure , lay rod or rods into hangers . Secure light system with hanging light chains or ratchet lines.

Should be a perfect spot once you get the heat issue you will have under control. I had to stop heat trials on my 2x4 cabinet but am running 300watt hps open bulb at a solid 75.3 deg (until a cool tube arrives). Im pulling about 400cfm through 100cu in of passive intake. Ive reached hit a wall at a 9.6 degree temperature differential between cabinet and room temps. (and the wife wont let me keep the house 65 degrees. lol) Air circulation/exchange is the key . Hot out - cool in. and lots of air circulation to keep the warm air moving/mixing.
Hang in there you will get it,
Ive spent two weeks on trials and tried every gimmick shortcut out on the web trying to run a 600w bare bulb. 86.6 is still too hot. But im not giving up. Back to basics helped the most.
