replacing my 400hps! which LED to get help?

So I want to go LED, been growing with a 400hps for a couple years, but during summer months heat has always been an issue, I can avoid that with a LED my cab is 28x24x66. I need a little advice on which one would be my best option for flowering, im used to atleast 5ozs. per harvest with the 400 wanna stay in that range or increase yeild if possible.

How bad are your temp issues?

Seems to me that you could drop them a few degrees with a CMH lamp. The spectrum of the HPS is so far into the infra-red range that it heats up everything around it, especially anything that's a dark or black color.

A $40 bulb would be a lot cheaper to try than an L.E.D. Not trying to sway you from L.E.D.s or anything, just pointing out options.

Stay Safe!

There are a few companies with great LED lights:

Advanced LED
Hydro Grow LED
Stealth grow LED
Lumigrow LED
Prosource Worldwide LED
....and I'm sure the list goes on.
