Quick question: Do general-purpose-lighting HID ballasts typically have
a built-in thermal protection device of some sort like some fluorescent
fixtures have?
I was operating a 70-watt metal halide ballast (traditional
iron/magnetic type; not electronic) with the proper lamp, but in an
enclosure where it may have built up too much heat and run hot (the
metal box in the luminaire was intended for a physically much smaller
70-watt HPS ballast), though I don't know for certain if this was...
70-watt MH temporarily stopped working--overheated ballast?
