You need to check this Tiki.....

....where I live if you double the voltage and the resistance (or load) stays the same you wind up with half the amperage.

But it is correct that most items, like electric motors, are more efficent at 220v versus 110v.

oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Galaxy Digital Ballast feedback??? Looking at investing in the multi wattage digital ballasts. So far, I think the Galaxy 1000, HPS/MH, 400-600-1000 watt settings, can run bulbs at full power or reduced power (does that make bulb last longer?), and supposedly less heat. Not sure which puts out how much, but 1000 watt bulb puts out a lot of heat. Anyway I like the ability to use at any wattage and to use either HPS or MH. With some of my experimenting I need more flexibility. So, since it is a $400 investment, is it Rating: 5
