Yeah if you can make it work layout wise.

If your confident turn off you're electric , disconnect the fan and use the hole .

If I was in your situation I'd be tempted to double filter to be sure of no smell.
Use a standard quality filter and then an inline filter . But I'm prone to having piece of mind and may be over the top on precautions.

I'd get a sealed hood instead of that wing reflector.

No worries.

Itl be a 4, maybe 5 inch hole.
Duct reducers mate!

Does anyone else think that a 600 watt HID light is gonna be a big heat issue in that small of a tent? Hanging distance might also be an issue with the large reflectors that they use. 1x1x2 m is only like 3x3x6 feet. That’s like an old phone booth. My experiences over the years with HID is that they can be a tough beast to tame in tight spaces, which led me to switch to LED.

Personally I'd stick with a hydrofarm or something like it for a sealed light setup. The infinity fans are great for ventilation of the tent but I don't know how well they would hold up if they were used for the actually venting the light. Link below is the one I've used with a can filter and have had no complaints other than being a little loud, speed control compatible which helps with the noise level.

It's a pretty standard size light for that size tent.
All tents are 2m high over here.
No doubt heat can be an issue but its all relative to air exchange and ambient air temps.

If that light is what OP has to work with, it’s doable, but not the easiest route for a beginner. More customizable and easier-to-work-with options now exist.

I have an old hydro farm glass sealed/air cooled setup (XT Luminaire series) for a 600 watt light, and the hood has a 6 inch flange. I believe the hoods with the 4” ducts were only recommended for 250/400 watt lights. The 6 inch fan also pulls around 460 CFM, which is a pretty significant upgrade over the 4”. I’d recommend a reflector that accommodates a 6 inch fan for sure.

Check out this old thread about the same setup being discussed. https://www.rollitup.org/t/600w-hps-air-cooled-ventilation-questions.693788/
