enclosing my metal halide ballast

[noeldokken]

I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can enclose my metal halide ballast. I tried finding a "junction box" at like home depot and menards but they dont have anything what I am looking for. Does anyone know a specific model number or kind? My ballast are currently running exposed, which is very dangerous as either my hands or water can accidently touch them and cause an electrical shock or fire. Thanks.

I got mine at home depot. I think you may have been looking in the wrong spot. Be sure to look up higher too. I had to get on my tippy toes to see them on the rack. They have two sizes. It thing 6X8 and 8X8. I was able to get two raw ballast in the 8X8 but was a tight fit.

be careful of inclosing old style tar ballasts, my first ones were in a big metal box, and they melted off the wiring. if it is a cooler electronic, you should be ok.
