I'm going to be doing some growing over the winter in my garage and at this point I have this light picked out. http://www.amazon.com/iPower-GLSETX600DHMWING20-600-Watt-Digital-Dimmable/dp/B005DOS0R8 Will I be able to get away without any cooling for the light? I live in Florida, so it does not get too terribly cold. If there are any better options (price-wise) out there for lights feel free to recommend one.

Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

I have a 600 watt one in a 5'x6' room in the basement and if  keep the door closed, it will. get up into the mid seventies, but with the door open it it only a little warmer than the ambient temp.Â

There isn't that much heat given off. You will be fine.Â
Â
Â
No cooling for the bulb at all.Â

Depends on how cold the ambient temperature in your garage gets and how large of a space you plan to "heat" with the light. Â If you build/purchased a small growbox, I'm sure it would work fine. Â
I steer clear of generic grow supplies because I'm terrified of burning my house down.... lol.... for not tooo much more you could get a lumatek setup.....
This combo has a nicer reflector, Â and with a lumatek ballast is only $100 more than what you're consideringÂ

I run that exact light in my tent and it does very well.
