I'm fine with these being on 240V, it helps the ballast last longer not to have to step power up so far. There's a slight per savings due to efficiency improvement at 240V, as well. That's one reason- the other being safety while pulling lots of amps thru wires in my WOODEN HOUSE.
So, all lighting circuits in my grow areas are already wired for 240V and I highly recommend anyone pulling more than 600W in a single device do the same.
120V is good for a 1500W hairdryer, which means PART TIME. People exceed their 80% of maximum amps rule much more often in 120V circuits than 240, because it's twice as easy to do.
End of safety message. The ass I saved from gettin toasted could be yours!
