Hi guys. Kinda noob so go easy on me
Just set up a small growroom, with a 400watt (240volt) HPS rated at 65,200 lumens. Light is great, but today I noticed the ballast was a little hot and I could smell heat. I have sice moved its position in the growroom so it is in front of the intake air fan, so should receive cool filtered outside air.
Just wondering if this is normal, and if it would be a safety concern, obviously in a confined space, I dont really want my house burning down
This is the link to the ballast I have. (400HPS)
It states it has inbuilt thermal protection but you cant be too carefull I guess.
