thanks for all your replies. I mounted the ballast on one side and moved it 1/4 away from the cross piece of wood. Running for 10 hours now and it seems to be a little cooler now. Off to look for a clip fan to mount under the hood. Thanks again,

Please help with my question. I just received my T5 lighting system with the parabolic reflectors (very impressed, but thats another thread). Anyway my question is, where should I mount the ballast? That little puppy is getting pretty hot under the back of the hood. I screwed it directly to the...

I think you made a good decision William, I also ordered mine as well yeserday and am looking forward to seeing the results. And heck if they don't live up to the expectations I sure that they would go for an ok price on the auction site.
