That sounds like an excellent plan. The reason being is that I have been having some unconfirmed misgivings about that overdriving business. Originally I believe the whole idea called for ELECTRONIC ballasts. Most of the ballasts I saw used here were at best Hybrids. IOW they were just tar ballasts with SOME electronic components like a capacitor to provide starting kick. I may be wrong, but I suspect you were not getting the amount of light you thought you were getting. At least any of the setups I saw were not as bright as I expected.
