Lighting LED heat issues

Is this a stealth grow?
 
Hmm ok I would need to see pictures detailed ones and I may have an idea
 
An internal fan blowing across the surface of the lights toward the exhaust fans might help. With a bit of screwing around I was able to get my stealth cab to a reasonable temp(82-84). I ended up switching it up to a 6" fan, from diy PC fans, but I am also running 3 leds(two are 140 actual draw galaxyhydros, and one a mars 180w real draw) in the space(54"long X 18"deep X 34" high from the top of the pots to the lights surface)
 
Those little fans don't seem to be dumping the warmer locker air enough. The locker is small and you should be able to have better controlled temps. 88 is ok if it's been warm out, but not as a consistent temp for the grow. Also mind the location of where air comes in, where it travels before going out and where you have thermometer placed in that sequence.

It seems that way but I have broke it down to a science and the LED seems to be the issue.
Total cfm being moved is in the area of 240. The air velocity is roughly 2mph per tandem unit. Lights off, chiller
On and no exhaust= 90 degrees. Exhaust on drops it to 76 (1-2 degrees above
Room temp). I experimented with turning the chiller off and turning lights on = 85 degrees. So we know it's moving air enough to to push the 105 degree heat off the water cooler
It just can't keep up with the light.

What light are you running?
