Well whatever type ballast I get I'm making sure it has a good warranty on it. I hope switching to these cfls for a week doesn't leave me with fluffy popcorn nugs. That shit will be devastating.

it will affect them slightly but not much for just a week

Just so you'll know running through a cheap timer and or power bar (multiple outlets) can sometimes mess up a digi try plugging it straight in. If you don't mind hearing the hum get a hydrofarm mag ballast they last for years,but do put out a fair amount of heat.
