lol i agree with you sprakjumper, it probably would not work. but i am still definately going to try this. to be done properly it would need to be measured with a lumen meter as well.
if it were to work, the benefits would be substantial. linking 4 250w bulbs to one 1000w ballast, you would save considerably on ballast costs, and the light could be evenly spread out using more bulbs, and the bulbs could be placed alot closer, increasing available lumens to the plants.
btw those dual 600's look siiick, but im quessing they draw 1200ish watts?
Is it possible to run two seperate 250 watt hps bulbs off of one 600 watt mag balast?
If so how would I go about wiring it? Series parallel?
