Letting the smoke out DO NOT ATTEMPT THE FOLLOWING!

Victor,

I had four of these similar ballasts mounted on wood. After about 6 months I moved one and found it scorched underneath. This is personal experience speaking. Not theory. Heat is heat. 40 deg celsius over time could be enough to start something.

Why take the chance?????

Steve,

Please edit your post about the way you obtained your extinguishers. I know it happens in the Navy alot, but it isn't what we want to hear about here. It boils down to theft. Sorry to put it that way.
