Question Outer Orbit magnetic ballast--should I switch to an electronic one?

Hi there everyone,

I recently bought the Outer Orbit Pro 250 watt HQI/T5 light fixture, which came with two magnetic ballasts. I'm concerned about heat and safety issues with these, (no fires, please!) and I was wondering if I should switch the ballasts to electronic ones. Has anyone done this? If so, what is a good recommended electronic ballast brand? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
