Hi there all.

At home i have a spare T15 pulse strike bulb, so i was thinking of having an experement with it in the near future.

I have read the thread http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16291
where Arizonavideo was overdriving a 400Watt bulb at well over 1000Watts.

There is lots of talk around here of linking up more than 1 ballast in paralell or series to drive bulbs of higher wattage than a single ballast was designed for alone, and lots of talk about overdriving bulbs to double the wattage they are designed to be run at.

So, seeing as i also have a spare e-ballast, would it be possible to wire up both e-ballasts to drive a single T15 Pulse strike bulb?

And if so, am i talking about doing it in series?

Heres a summation of what ArizonaVideo had to say about this.......

Seems the most likely outcome is the e-ballasts will blow themselves up, the lamps might well handle the current, if it was driven off a couple of coil ballasts, but not the e-ballasts.

It is highly likely that the output voltage waveforms from both the e-ballasts going to the bulb, will cncel out generating less voltage! Or, the ballasts will just fry...

So... Dont try this at home!
