A couple years ago I picked up a used security lamp, 400 watt HPS.
anyhow I had converted it to a remote ballast and all was working well.
well the other day i decided to move this lamp into a grow box and when i went to shorten the cord that runs up to the bulb I noticed that there is this sticky like substance that appears to be leaking from the capasitor. But i can not tell for sure if that is where it is coming from. The capasitor is located in a box seperate from the ballast itself. And what i'm wondering is if it is common for the manufacter to put any type of sealers in there to keep things from shorting out or if I do in fact have a leak somewhere. The light still seems to work fine,
Just scared it may start a fire if it is in fact leaking
Thanks M.E
