The ballast on the T-5 fits inside the hood, looks quite slimlined and futuristic. I think the Icecap 250 watt MH ballast is small enough to fit in there as well but it might make the hood larger, I am not sure?
My hood looks big because I added HQI, MH and needed a 2 cooling fans and a lens to filter out the UV light, mogul bulbs do not need a lense. Aqualine AB ballast sits outside, it's quite large. Maybe old technology compared to T-5 hoods? The picture in that lighting link are their old designs.
