Ballast and bulb question

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by Lashu, Sep 4, 2017.

  1. I have a 600 watt vivosun ballast that's capable of overdriving to 700 watts.. question... can i just put a 1k watt bulb in there and run overdrive all the time ? Does it make a spectrum difference with the lesser wattage ?

  2. No vivosun claims you have to have a 600w bulb with the dimmable 600w ballast

  3. yeah but im trying to see the problem with pushing 700 watts through a 1k watt bulb... its not pushing it beyond its capabilities, so i guess what im asking is.. will it work or is there a chance it could blow up on me or cause fire or something...
    your car will go 160 mph but when you drive it at 80 its not gonna explode...
