Embryonic, you will want to set up the cool tube with an intake that is on the outside of the house and an exhaust that is also outside- most of the heat from the lamp is exhausted this way- push the air through the cool tube so the hot air doesn't damage the fan. If you can find a way to put the light's ballast outside that will also help to keep the temperature down. You will then want to remove the hot air from the grow room with another fan pulling hot air (preferably placed at the top of the room- hot air rises) out- this exhaust fan will pull through a carbon filter if odor control is necessary.

I live in a very hot climate and I'm able to keep it cool by doing the above setup- I have an "evaporative cooler" (also known as a "swamp cooler") that uses little electricity, and helps cool temperatures quite a lot when it is dry out, I use a small AC unit for when it gets hot and humid.

bumble buddy i have done all of the above tha you say but summer began and temps are very very hot ,i had 35 c degres the day my babies died inside the room so the temp inside my closet was 2-3 degres higher , i think it is normal to have that diference right?
so maybe i should cool down the whole room.Right?
