Hey there, I started a thread the other day about a 70W ballast and heres another one along those lines.
I can get a 'complete' 70W ballast for $35 at one shop, and i'm not talking about that one...
now:
I can get a 40-700W Ignitor for $5 ... thats an ignitor for lights up to 700W which looks like this :

then I can get a 70W Ballast for $10 which looks something like this:

as you can figure, i'm missing a tansformer and hence my question...
what kind of transformer would I need to connect a universal Ignitor up to 700W to a ballast up to 600W...
with rates like these I reckon I can cheaply build a 600W ballast...
anyone know about the transformer I'd need?
and if its possible for me to buy a ballast that exceeds the capability of the lamp and still work?
