Alright well I have just a few questions, looking for some advice/confirmation. The room I am planning on creating my shrine in is 5Wx10Lx7H and it use to be a black room. It currently has a ceiling fan that vents to the outside(probly 50 CFM) the room is 350 CF so thats not too bad a fan for the room. My first question is with a room of this size do I need an intake fan? Also I was looking into buying this light off ebay 400w.

Link to Light

Is that a decent light?

Also with a room of this size and a 400w light do I def need to vent the light?

Any tips appreciated thanks

are you creating a room/tent within that space? if not you're gonna need a quite a few of those lamps to light that 50 square foot, my 400w covers about 8 sq feet..
i dont run an active intake to my 400w grow btw, but if i was growing in that whole room you have, i sure would

Yeah, I was planning on just occupying maybe about 2/6 of the room with the rest space for work tools etc. Seeing as I have the exhaust fan in the ceiling I was thinking maybe I could just cut a hole from the outside either from inside my house or maybe a hole from the outside aswell to get some fresh air? But you said you don't have an intake do you have an exhaust? I know the plants need fresh air and I wasn't sure if this room was big enough to need to be vented or not.
