How high is your attic? That light is going to generate some heat: you may need to ventilate to the outside, which will require thinking about fans.

get a 6 inch vented light dont buy a reflector without it being vented.It makes thing easeir.

Those lights are fine but they are poorly constructed i had a 400 w halide of those that got twice as hot as my higher quality 1000 w hps

the higher the quality of the light the better, you get what you pay for.
