SON AGRO Ballast Cooking

Been running the Son Agro's on my 400 watt Radium's for the last couple of days and they look great. But I do have a question for the other users of this ballast. Mine get very very hot, more so then a regular 400 watt ballast. Is this normal for this ballast, should I add a cooling fan to the ballast enclosure, or is venting holes on the sides and top sufficient.

I've just got air slots on my case. Should be fine with those.

Thanks Brad, do your ballasts run VERY hot as well.

yup, there's no way you could touch them for long, if at all.
