Lighting under canopy

I have a Coralife Aqualight Pro 48" 150W MH fixture on legs under my canopy. I have eurobracing that the legs sit on. I just installed 3 fans from newegg.ca to my canopy to get the heat down.

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.
