No pic of the light....but its very similar to the one you posted....I think its made by "hydrofarm".
Has anybody ever seen an internal ballast converted into an external??
If I did mod it, it would be cool to remove the guts and put them in one of those ammo cases that I've seen other peeps do....and it should decrease the sound.
How much heat does a ballast give off?? I've only seen internal ballasts and can't differentiate between the heat coming from the bulb and the heat coming from the ballast.

THanks
