				Originally I believe the whole idea called for ELECTRONIC ballasts. Most of the ballasts I saw used here were at best Hybrids.

				I have the Advance REL-4P32-SC that Burnabyreefer had said to use in his original thread on overdriving.  I believe these are true electronic ballasts.

 That sounds right.  As I said those Hometown ballasts were not the right thing to use, and I am sure the light output was no better than hooking them up normally.

 Sorry Bob, I think your incorrect.  I hooked one up OD and had 4 at NO  going beside it and you could see an obvious diffrence in the light output of the bulb

 That of course is always possible.  I have looked at very few OD setups, and never did a comparison.  I do believe, however, that those ballasts are not in any way true Electronic ballasts.  You do not need a transformer that weighs a ton in an Electronic ballast.  I will remain suspicious, and untli somone proves me wrong about that I will stay suspicious.  I just installed a Workhorse 5 in Alan's fixture.  That for sure is electronic, and totally different.
