hey im noticing some of these compact floros are coming with digital internals now..

so the question is now how to overdrive them like their long and skinny counterparts.. I know in the early days of overdriving regular floros you would buy two fixtures and take the ballast out of one and put it in the other.. I guess here you would have to buy two bulbs then take the ballast out of one bulb and add it to the other.. net result is 1.7x brightness with very very little if any lost efficiency (it does not draw 2x the power if I understand correctly).

Worst case if you buy digitals now then when you replace them next year you can keep their ballasts and put them in new bulbs for overdrive.. in a few years you could be up to a 4x overdrive at no additional cost.

Anyone up for comments on this?? Please no "mommy said not to play with electricity" posts.. if you dont have any idea what I am talking about dont post your doomsday predictions please.. just go search and read about it here:
