Coralvue T5 retro question

[Waterbury Guy]

I have a question on the ballast for these. From the description it says "The wiring and electronics are mounted inside a small box that is holding the dual water proof end caps." Does this mean that the ballasts are inside the endcaps? Sorry if that's a silly question, but I always thought that because of heat issues that the ballasts could not/should not be under the canopy.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Ballasts are installed inside the tubular frame that spans the length of the fixture.

Thanks!
Any reports of problems due to heat in the canopy?

I just got this fixture for my seahorse tank so I am very concerned about heat. The fixture actually runs "cold" and I am very happy with it. Of course, I got mine from Aquacave
