You've lost me -- that's a picture of a fluorescent ballast not a halide ballast?

As for the fan, if you're trying to wire the fan off the same switch as the lighting so that it turns on and off with the lights -- then what I'd do is leave the fan off the wiring for the ballast, and use a power strip on a timer: Plug the ballast(s) and fan(s) into the power strip (each using their own plug). It's sometimes better to have individual plugs for each thing because if you ever need to swap one out then you don't need to worry about unplugging the unaffected things.
