Thinking of moving my scorpions

[Pepper]

As winter approaches, im considering moving my scorpions into my warmer plant room/closet. I have: heterometrus longimanus, hadrurus arizonensis, and opistophthalmus glabifrons adults, and tityus serrulatus and androctonus australis hector slings.
My question is, would an intense 250w high pressure sodium bulb as i have for my plants harm them in any way or could they just hide from it? 12 hours on, 12 hours off, but i might go for a shorter daytime to get some plants flowering.
Furthermore, for the rack i would put them on, im looking at.11 3/4" x 17 1/2 x 8" high enclosures from The Container Store. Is that big enough for the mentioned adults? (I dont see why not but id like a second opinion) Itd be neato if anyone could point me towards where else i could buy a better cheap plastic storage container within the dimensions ~10x30x<10" high to fit on the rack i have.

As far the light goes I think they would just hide while its on and appear while when its off. All the same I would put them in the darkest part of the room though.

Yeah they'd be fine, they would just hide from the light.

Have you actually taken measurements of the temperature in there? I know 250W HPS create a ton of heat and you referred to it as a room/closet, so I'm afraid you might end up cooking them.

I measured this morning when the lights had just turned on and it was just above 70, and forgot to do it again after it had been on for a few hours and now im at work. But i think when i measured it before it was like 95. This would not be directly under the light.
I am going to remeasure temps and humidity just to be sure, but does that sound alright?

Yeah the temps range from 73 to the low 80s
