Find your sq ft of your cab, see which size light can be optimal for your space , so length x width , then take your sq ft and the wattage of a light system and watts divided by the sq ft = watts per ft, i think 50-75 is the range , then you can find the lumens per sq ft by taking the amount of lumens on the bulb of the light system , lumens divided by sq ft = lumens per sq ft ... cheers

CFLs are definitely the safest. they put off the least amount of heat per watt. however they don't give off nearly as many lumens as an HPS with the same wattage. depending on how big your fans are, you should be more than able to keep the cab at a safe heat with enough air circulation and a nice hood.
