Here's a pic of the current setup: I'm missing one duct clamp, so the ducting is just sort of mashed onto the reflector on the left side. I'm not using the light right now or the fan so this isn't a huge setback or anything. I should have another clamp later this evening, anyway.

(That's just some rope from my equipment hangers holding up that bit of ducting, nothing crazy. I left it a bit long so I could lower the light, though it's more likely that I'll just raise the plants to the light so I don't have to fuck with it)

There's a few 90 degree bends in there because of the space constraints. Does everything look okay for the most part?

I got up on a chair and felt the air coming out the top exhaust and it's certainly blowing pretty hard out of there. It hardly seems like any power is lost compared to how the fan blows normally. My next purchase is probably going to be a speedster for the fan because it's just a tad loud, I'd like to be able to dial it back until I get an acceptable compromise between temp and noise level. Other than that, any recommendations for this little setup?

Thanks for that picture of your ducting, this part of the air flow is hard for me to visualize without having seen the equipmemt yet. Is one end of the duct connected to just an open port hole and relying on the fan to draw in air (thus keeping smell from leaking out), then running THROUGH the light assembly, and finally venting out another port with the phresh filter on it?

When looking at RVF's lights I notice what looks like duct ports on the sides, which had me wondering if they are smokehow linked to the ducting.

Great thread, I was going to start one with similar questions as here, but this answered above and beyond the knowledge I was seeking!
