Good Enough for Venting a Garage?

[gnosh]

ValuLine 6" Centrifugal Fan - 435 CFM

The Garage is 20 by 20, very well insulated and at the moment has two 1k lights.

You might want to check craigslist or something for some used fans. I scored an 8" Elicent fan for $75 last month. People seem to want top dollar for their used lights, but fans and accessories usually they sell off for much cheaper.

if your ceiling is 8' then your looking at 3200 cubic feet you need to exchange at least every 5-10 minutes at 400cfm you'll be exchanging every 8 minutes. As long as heat isnt a problem you should be fine.

Thanks for all the advice.

With 2x1000W you're not using more than 35sq.ft. or so. Why not wall it off with a few 2x4s and some plastic or some insulation boards. Then that fan will cool the space very well. It will never cool 20x20 more than 3-4 degrees with 2000W running, particularly in summer.
