Multiple bulbs on a single ballast?
Hey everyone.. Had a technical question posed to me today.. Just wondering if any of you electrical wizards could chime in on this!
I have a friend growing in a 4ft crawlspace with 1000W bulbs.. needless to say... his room is WAY overlit.. and he was wondering if it is possible to wire 2 x 400W HPS bulbs to a single 1000W magnetic ballast?
Seems to me that this might work as its still pulling less than the ballast rating.. but I dont know for sure and we want to be safe if we try this!
