moovinfast Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i now have 2 ballasts to run my 4 bulbs. still need to wire them up. can i wire them both up to the same plug to free up a spot on my controller? or should I wire them up so each has its own plug. only using vhos for actinics.

Barelycuda Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 either way should be fine. Totally up to you. If you are using all vho for actinic then i'd run them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moovinfast Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks, I just didn't know if it would affect the ballasts running off of the same plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could wire quite a few ballasts together before it would ever be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnkrcklives Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have mine wired that way seems to work fine. It is essentially like plugging two plugs into a power strip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The only concern would be to make sure the wire and controller will carry enough amperage to cover all of the lights. It's doubtful that it will be an issue though as the wires are generally way overkill already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
