Overdriven NO (Canadian Man!)

[AJ_77]

Hey Jon,
Do you know what kind of output could be expected running 1 electronic ballast per 2 bulbs? And what such a wiring configuration would look like?

Because: my friend - a carpenter - is looking at making stands & canopies to help supply the local demand. I may get him to make me a proper hood, and hook up the MH in a few months. In the meantime, I need to overdrive some tubes, but wonder if I HAVE to get one ballast per bulb.

I read Victor's thread on this, but didn't get my answer.

Cheers,
Alan
