If you wished to add another fan to the fixture, could you just splice it's wires to the same locations as the original fan(s)?

2) each of the ballasts have three wired output. Red is hot from the ballast, black is hot from 120, and white is neutral.

3) the red and black goes into the ignitor for each light.

4) the fans are spliced in very close to the 5 bundle of cables. Fans are 120v AC so one wire is spliced into the black and one wire into the white for the two outside MH bulbs.

5) Replacing the middle light I don't have to deal with the fans.

if anybody is interested in a diagram to do their own mod, show your interest on this tread and judging from the interest will determine if I put time into an electrical diagram. otherwise, i won't bother.
