To buy a light or not, that is the ?

Here is the low down on my space 79"L 74"W and 80"H. I already have a 1000w, should I just buy another. I do not believe you can have too much light but you never know. I do not believe temps will be an issue as the room will be air condition (just happen to have a vent in place where I built the walls air the hoods are air cooled). Also is the air pushed by a central air system fresh? I know I have a fresh air intake vent that runs to the unit from outside.

If you can manage the heat, buy as many 1000W as you can... If you can nitrogen cool them, buy 2 2000W 440,000lumens...

Thanks but how do you nitrogen cool your lights. I can get my hands on a few tanks N.

I have friends using nitrogen to cool their CPUs... I neither have equipment nor the guts to try it.

There are various options from letting liquid nitrogen to cool the reflector to -100 Celsius (-148F) to cooling the air and letting extremely cold air to pass through the light chamber.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/5-ghz-project,731.html this is how they cool the CPU and ran it at double MHZ... Cooling lights is no different. If you succeed, you'll be the first one to cool a 2000W MH lamp and open the possibility of using them.

Does it worth it? Does it worth more than having 6x600W and air cooling them? Up to you...
