yo man youd need either one of those can fans or you can make a quick easy cheap fan.. from home depot or walmart you can get this stanley blower mod it out and youll be able to vent your light temps out.. i have a cooltube with it and its killer. its really cheap too.. i can find it for you if you want... ik theres a post in here somewhere...

oh and the CFM woudl depend on the temps and the room... and how your gonna be venting.. are you gonna be venting with fresh air or air from your garden.. soo outside garden ==> ducting ==> cooltube ==> ducting ==> fan ==>outside air.... or.... garden ==> cooltube ==> ducting==> fan? you can do both but if you have a cab/refrigerater (like ur avatar), using this to exhaust your cab and cool ur light is what i would do. easiest to do then you only need one say booster fan for intake and not another one for exhaust..

heres the link to a thread and then heres where you can buy the fan..

and what you can do is mount it outside your cab... then have ducting go to the light and have is Suck air through the cooltube through the ducting through the fan then blow out wherever you want.. orrrr if you want to keep it even more cool and not worry about smell if you already have exhaust for the cab.. is just cut a hole, mount ducting from the whole, through the cooltube, through ducting (cut another hole or find a way to get ducting outside cab), then fan, pushing ===>air outside..

oh and just look around the house for somethign to mod it out.. i used carboard, poly plastic (panda film) and ducting plus some hot glue and some shoe goo(or water proof sealant) and its completly air tight and works great.. if i ahd a camera id show you but i dont sorry.
