Use a computer case fan with a 12 transformer to power it.

Yup computer fans with a power source from a old alarm clock... cost about $10

Or if you want to spend a bit more money, radio shack, $24, wire it right into the wall. Got 2 running on my canopy and couldn't be happier

I use 6" electronics fans for evaporative cooling, not so much to cool my lamps. Anyway, I got them at RP Electronics in Burnaby.

If you purchase 230V fans, yet run them at 115V, they are DEAD quiet and still move a reasonable amount of air. You have to get ball bearing models or the 115V won't be enough juice to get the fan started.

Check out http://www.rpelectronics.com/

and look for AC Fans in the products directory.

running 2 icecap fans for my 2x250 w hqi , speed variable based on temp under the hood, and fairly quiet. You do pay for them though. about 60-70 piece. I love em
