I have the retrofit of this kit (but in 250W) mounted in my canopy. The kit came with a 4" fan to install in the canopy but I just bought 2 of the Ultra-quite 4" fans from NCIX and mounted them in to the outside of the canopy over a couple of holes. They face the wall so you cannot see them, and they do a really good job keeping the lamps cool and temperature down.

When I switch to LED this fall/winter/spring I hope to be able to cut out the use of the fans except for in the summertime to keep the temperature perfectly stable.

Right, and no. I've run this setup for years. 10hr light cycle with 1/2 painted ply. Some slight staining after a few years at best..
