Hi everyone, I am a noob to this site and growing.
I recently bought a complete kit that included a tent, timers, lights, reflector, and a ballast / transformer.
The bulbs are 250W & the transformer is 250W of course.
Hold your finger to the red zone and you'll burn it fast.
So I know this much about the transformer. It's German made Vossloh Schwabe. I would imagine they make better products than the chinese. I wrote a message to the people who sold me the kit.
I'm hoping this is normal. Right now I've got it on top of 2 small metal rails to keep it off the carpet floor and mildly improve the airflow. My next step right now is to buy a little fan that I imagine I'll have to leave running anytime the light is powered on.
My last resort will probably to have the transformer sit outside, but that'll be quite inconvenient to setup.
Anyone struggled with something similar? I have no experience with transformers such as these so maybe I'm looking into it too much.
I'd appreciate any affordable tips / suggestions.
Hoping to make it through my first night and not burn the house down.
