PC Ballast question
I have used PC fixture I was given. The brand name is "Top". It came with 2
55w lamps. The fixture is pretty beatup, but works fine. I am thinking of taking it apart and mounting the innards in a new housing. I am also wondering if this fixture can run 65w lamps. If I plug a 65 into this ballast, and it only runs 55, will it simply run the 65 at 55 watts? Or will the house explode? Thanks, Mark

PC Ballast question
It may light the bulb but it may not burn at the proper spectrum.......but it surely is not going to hurt anything. On 10 Jun 2006 00:12:11 GMT, Mark Cooper wrote: I have used PC fixture I was given.
