Looking to get one of these here shortly....

I recently got a new light fixture that I'm really happy with. However, it produces a fair amount of heat and has no fan.
Where my question is, I plan on mounting this fan on the back of the canopy (which is the only open area of this type of canopy).
I was told to run the fan with the air blowing into the canopy on the light, which makes sense. However, there is a good amount of condensation developing on the bottom of my lid and I'm thinking of running the fan out, exhausting the hot air and helping with the condensation. Its actually getting to a point where I'm starting to develop some type of mold or mildew on the inside of the canopy.
Kind of seems like a rock and hard place situation.
If I point the fan toward the light, that will help with the heat but probably won't help with the condensation.
If I point the fan out it will help the condensation but might not be enough to help keep the light so hot.
