When dealing with ac's you need to consider the heat you're producing....not the square footage the unit is rated for. You're gonna need 4000 btu's per 1000 watt light.
So you're good to go. Runnin what you got.
You're not stretching 3k over you're entire room are you?

Also keep in mind the size of your reflectors, whether they are air cooled, the size of ducting you are using, ventilation etc.

So do you have sealed air cooled reflectors? If so, how big are the ports.

So it sounds like they are sealed then. Are you actually air cooling them?
