There's carpeting in the room and I would like the 2 ballasts contained in case of over heating. It would have to sit low on the floor. Suggestions?

What about using fireproof plaster board but maybe adding vents for air circulation?

put em on bricks/concrete blocks. buy quality gear. I used metal tool boxes once. was great they opened easily if repair needed. no tool required open latch

I have my ballasts in an sheetmetal pan and it has a tall back on it for the wall....the sit there stacked on top of one another and have a fan blowing on them. I vacuum these with a shop vac weekly to keep dirt down on the ballast cooling holes of which I also drilled them out larger.
I have had my mag ballasts for over 15 years and my digi's for over 5 and all run great without a hitch.
