i have a grow room, 7 ft wide 2 ft deep and 10 ft tall, i currently have a 600w light in there now i was wondering if it would be a good idea to add a 250 or 400 w light along with it to get maximum light to all the plants so i can fill the closet with plants and have sufficent light for the whole closet, so i guess my question is would this be too much for the closet and how much would the temp go up adding another 250 or 400w light

How do you have your 600 watt light hanging? Is the length of the bulb facing the 7 foot long wall or the 2 foot long wall?

Sorry about the crappy drawing. But I think that you should do a setup like that and cover the whole 7 feet with two 600 watt HPS.
Have each reflector hanging 1.75 feet in from the wall on each side and you will be able to cover the entire floor of the closet. If you can handle the extra heat I would go that route

Have the reflectors coming 1.75 feet off of the 2 foot walls. You want the bulb to be going the same direction as the 2 foot walls. The socket will be facing the 7 foot wide wall
