Not sure I would love to get a 400w cool tube
trust me when I tell you that the Gull wing would be the best reflection. I have 2 gull and 1 air cooled. People say air cooled are better than tubes. UNLESS VERTICAL. but gulls are better than air cooled. I speak from experience. Get a fan for the bulb and the heat stays down.

I got 3x 400w(None actually cooled) with Carbon Filtered exhaust(hanging in the top part of the tent.) directly outside and intake from outside the tent is now 79-82F day and 55-65F night

That's what I was scared of the heat and the space.Thanks for the tip Stew
Do you plan on staying in the closet or are you thinking about a tent...might make a difference?!?! My 400 puts off a good bit of heat with a fan on her going full blast (gotta keep the door open or they'd bake) can't wait to get my exhaust in my cabinet!!

Your cabinet has no space above the lights for heat to go right? closets usually have a few extra feet of space above the light so heat shouldn't become a problem.

I used to use just 400w HPS in a 2x5x7 closet. but I only grew plants to 30" or so. so that I had all the space above for heat to stay away from the plants. As long as you are pulling in cold enough air on the bottom. it mixes with the heat and brings the temp down if it's high.(usually isn't IMO)


I use a tornado fan attached to the center post of the tent. that keeps the middle light good and cool, oscillating fan for the other gull wing. and small personal desk fan(walmart) inside the hole of the air cooled hood blowing air onto the bulb.

I would like to go into a nice tent but I might be able to get away with the 400w hps in the closet, I might have to get another 6 inch fan I have one already and some pc fans that i will probably be getting rid of and a nice blizzard fan that works great, I should be able to control the heat. Right now I exhaust the heat into a different room with the 6 inch exhaust fan and my daytime temps stay around 76-77 and night time 66-67 and sometimes a little colder. And i cant wait for that cooler weather so I can cut back on that electric bill
