ballast question
I currently have a electronic ballast that is running 2 30 watt blubs.
Would it be possable to run 4 20 watt bulbs off this ballast by spliting the wires to the 4 end caps? From what I am reading all ballast can handle up to 40 watts am I correct on this? Thanks for any feedback TK

If possible the wireing would be more complicated then simply splitting the wires. From what I am reading all ballast can handle up to 40 watts am I correct on this? No. There is a huge variety of electronic ballasts. Some will drive 1 to 2 tubes at the correct wattage. Others will over or under drive a fixed number of tubes at a single wattage. The only way to know is to get the manual for your ballast.
