That 600w bulb is still going to heat a small room like that up, you need to pump the air from the reflector out of the room I think. What reflector do you have?
I'd say have the blower blow through the reflector then have the reflector vent to the carbon filter sitting in the attic so the hot air is out of the room. Remember to try and keep the distance it has to blow through as short as possible. Make sure you get a blower that can blow enough to blow through the carbon filter as well.
edit: nvm that wouldn't work. I did something like that but I had a homemade filter and an inline fan on top of the filter in the attic sucking. I guess with a normal canister carbon filter you would need to have the fan suck on the filter then push that air through an airtight aircooled reflector then out the room. You would still need an inline fan.

I don't see why it would need to be in the same room if it was an inline carbon filter like this one.

THEBats said: ok so I need to have one fan sucking air into the room through the reflector then another pulling air through the carbon filter and exhausting out the room right?
You can do that all with one good fan. Take your filter, connect it to you ac reflector, connect that to your inline fan then connect your fan to a flange that exhausts out of the room.
You don't need a fan to replace the air in the room, pressure will do that automatically from the crack under the door.

What if its a zippered tarp door that is supposed to be fairly air tight and you have sealed all off the seams? Would you want an intake fan then?
No, just a hole in the wall to let air in. The pressure will replace the air in the room automatically as you pump the hot air out. Make sure the cool intake air is coming from a different room than you are venting your hot air into.
