I've finally got my projector together and have given it a few tests of about 2 hours on each occasion. My Lumenlab ballast is mounted on the outside of my box.
I've noticed while checking temperatures that the ballast housing/heatsink gets very hot. I hold my hand on it and count to 5 and have to pull it away. So how
hot is too hot? It concerns me because it seems awfully hot for long term
survival of the electronics inside.
Full Version: How warm should my ballast be?

It's recommended to keep it outsoide the box as you are doing. Mine gets very hot as well. I think it should be fine. It's aluminum and is venting a lot of heat . thats why its hot.
