Default Workhorse Ballasts

CHEAPREEF, the only way to know for sure is to put a multi-meter on it and measure the curent you are using. I have had different results from 3 diferent modle ballasts but as of yet I have not obtained double the output from 2X overdriving. now having said that I have not tried a workhorse balast on my tests yet. (mabe I will pick one up this afternoon if they will give me agood price) I would make a guess on a electric balast with two sets of leads instead of he normal one set you would be pushing about 1.5X the normal power, mabe a workhorse would be a bit higher. In reference a icecap ballast over drives NO bulbs 1.5X there normal power.
