Ballast questions

  1. I am starting sog in a small closet. Im using a 430w hps, got everything set up and now i just have a question about the ballast. I have the ballast on a shelf inside the closet where i will be having vegetation be taking place, and it got upwards of 96 degrees in there. I understand that a ballast will get hot, but should i move outside the closet? If people could just share some of the safety precautions that they use with their ballasts? I would appreciate any ideas people have.
     
  2. Move it out of the closet. If you cannot do that, place it above the light on a shelf or mount it to the wall.
