13W wooden pendant

[mattlevy]

I was planning on making 2 small wooden pendants to house 2 13W hellolights retrofits. Does anyone know how hot these ballasts get? I’d hate for my investment (and house) to go up in smoke. Thanks.

matt, don't know about those ballasts, but I have a single ballast that lights two 36 watt pc's from ahsupply. Per there instructions, I screwed the ballast straight into the side of my diy wooden canopy. That was over two years ago. No problems. Works just fine and I have not noticed any heat buildup on it.
