hmm difficult one to answer that, hows your ventilation, extraction etc? because the ballast does put out a lot of heat...

if you can create some negative pressure, just have passive intakes and one tonking outtake you'll be golden :)

I think we say to everyone, don't skimp on extraction/ventilation or lights they are key to controlling temps and providing the best environment.

My box is 62X36X20 I am using this 6-Inch 240 CFM Air Duct Inline Hydroponic Booster Fan for my exhaust and when I turn it on the front of my tent gets pulled in to it is Pulling enough air

I have a 12" ocilating fan and a lil muffin fan pointing at the 150W atm and it goes to 80-82 with 73 degree temps in my house
with my CFL's for veg 6x45 watt I get 74

when I touch the 150 the ballast is the hottest part not the bulb and the temp of the metal would be going up due to tempered glass enclosure so I assume it should work better with a remote ballast 250hps

what would you say your 250 raises your temps versus lights off or surrounding temps outside of box if you have on?

thanks for your input already and any other info you might be able to provide
