    Wiring a 240 volt light ballast for 120 volts?

    I have never heard of wiring (1x) 240v to (2x) 120v or whatever, but i'm not an electrician... Even if I was, I wouldn't recommend trying it unless you have experience with this stuff. If it has a tag that only mentions 240v input and I had to guess, I would guess that it doesn't have a...

    Wiring a 240 volt light ballast for 120 volts?

    If it has a multi-tap transformer, then yes, it just needs to have the wires switched. If not, you'll have to buy a new transformer for it. It shouldn't cost very much. The last time I bought parts I got a multi-tap transformer AND a new capacitor for like $40. Just be careful what you do with...

    What would YOU do with 6800watts of HIDs?

    I suck at these message boards, so i'll probably mess up my replies... I was a long time lurker at Overgrow but never really posted, I just sat back and learned. Horticulture is really just a hobby of mine; Mycology is where my heart is. I didn't really check out the bulbs out since I was...

    What would YOU do with 6800watts of HIDs?

    So, a few years back I rescued a 400watt highbay light from the garbage, refurbished it (partly because it's condition was unknown, and partly because it didn't have a multi-tap transformer), and it works great... Just recently, I was lucky enough to find a local business who replaced their HIDs...
