Sorry for hijacking the thread, I personally don't want to argue it--I said it before, you have to decide what is right for your operation, in my case LED works awesome, others like to stick with the HID, that's fine. But I do want to help stop the spread of misinformation that the people have latched onto. I'll shut up about it if everyone else will.

moving right along... did you ever consider those 8" fans/vents?

You can make an easy fan controller with an extension cord, a blue electrical junction box and a fan dimmer switch (not the light dimmer switch) for cheap. My fans are rated @ ~750 CFM but rarely runs full blast.  It's good to have some reserve power, like today it hit 90º and my two fans are running full blast to cool my room down. It get's direct sun all day and is hard to control the temp in there as it is--the garden doesn't help.

Dude...SO WHAT ARE THE EXTRA COSTS??
PLEASE just answer straight forward

You said:
Bulbs
Cooling
Electricity
New ballast when upgrading

But:
Good bulbs dont need replacement for years. Even my 15$ one is rated for 12 months, I said 2 harvests, cause I asked around about it and read that it looses power after 5-6 months.

You need 0 extra cooling (once again).

Electricity costs make me laugh when put next to l.e.d initial costs. Yeah ill get my money back in 10 years ._. Except that in 10 years I'd be loosing money by using a obsolete prototype.

You DO need a new ballast for more l.e.d.'s. The ballast is inside the fixture but that doesnt matter.
