What kind of temps are you looking at currently?
Rarely hear about someone needs to raise their temp. Its usually lower.

My rooms sit between 26-27 and I run 400w in each room. Never had to heat dude.
summer i am up to 90 degrees but its hot out and the room is hot. No AC but usually temps are usually 70-85 inside the tent. I think airpots and other cool pots help ya dry out your medium which helps since the lack of (a lot) heat. Keep the air moving. Only using 90cfm for extraction so if u are using more prolly gonna get more fresh air
Yea good idea pick a light that works in the environment you are gonna be in, instead of creating and controlling more obstacles. I chose LED because my room is hot already. If i was in a cool room it would be HPS all day. You will reep the benefits and rewards of a properly tuned in environment.
Yeah J, since im looking into to getting the GN6 i was hoping it would keep it around the 25c mark*

I have seen cfl's hung with led's, they said for heat control.

I was recently using CFLs for extra heat and light on a 2x2x4' closet grow ... I just replaced the lights w/ a Blackstar 180HO and the heat is staying 75-80 degrees on it's own ... the room temp outside the box is about 60 degrees. Using a small UFO I had a problem w/ the space being too cool ...

had a terrible time with lack of heat my last grow. had to use a 100W reptile heating globe on a thermostat to keep things hot enough. HID is fine when the lights on but doesnt help much during the 12 off. using LED now in autopots, found if i use a heatmat under the autopot the air temp isnt really too important
