HID Light

[skunkbunk]

I was given a 400W MH Intermediate Floodlight. Unfortunately it came without the ballast. My question is can i safely hook this up in my Basement. It is listed as an outdoor fixture so i am a little nervous about the heat this will put off. What would i need to do to make this as safe as possible. ie, ventilation, blower fan, insulation. The light states to place the fixture a minimum of 12 feet from the ballast and 12 feet away from any combustibles. My ceiling is only 7Ft high so i am puzzled as what to do. Does anyone know where to pick up a ballast for this. The one match up i got was a CWA quad tap ballast for 400W lamps, 458W input. Any help is appreciated
