hey brick...could you explain to me what (if anything) is better about digital ballasts as compared to magnetic ones?? And whether I should shell out the extra 200 bucks for a Lumatek over the cheaper kind of ballast.....Thanks![]()
i have a ballast question for Fluorescent bulbs. I have a Fulham Workhorse 7 ballast, rated for 220w. I have 2 55w T5 HO bulbs plugged into it now (110w used). I want to know if I can plug in a 100w Fluorex CFL to it also. The 100w bulb does not have a ballast built in like many do. It uses a mogul socket, which I can wire to the chain... I just don't want to blow anything up
how dangerous is it really to run 10amps off a outlet meant for 9?
Ok so i finally found an electrician. I am certain my answer is yes but i wanted to make sure. I want 2 220v receptacles off 1 line in. Cant i just jumper over off the first receptacle and add my new. I would be using a total of 7.5 out of 15 amp breaker?
the first pic is the ballast info sticker, the second one is how i hope i can wire up the lights. That is how the wiring diagram says to string them together, I just don't know if the mogul socket/light is able to be powered by this ballast. The ballast is rated for 220w, and with the 2 T5's and the mogul, it comes to 210w
The base of that bulb is the ballast. No additional ballast is needed, just screw it into a mogul base and plug it in. VV![]()
Thats funny, I have one of those bulbs in a light on the side of my garage, there is no ballast added. The ballast of the 13 watt cfl's is in the base. Prove me wrong, wire the mogul base, screw the bulb in and plug it in. VVthe base of this bulb is NOT the ballast, it is an unballasted CFL

that was the first thing i tried, didn't work... this is a 100w replacement CFL that does not have a ballast in it... it is not a 13w CFL, it actually uses 100w
