I hope it isn't bothering anybody that I am asking so many questions lately, but I am curious about this one. I was wondering if I can use my 400w MH CWA ballast for a 175w MH bulb and possibly a 175w MV bulb. The ballast currently has a 24 uF capacitor, but I have the capability to go from 0 to 25 uF in 2.5 uF increments, so I would start at 2.5 uF, measure the wattage, then go up to 5 uF if it isn't sufficient and so on until I get the proper wattage through the 175w lamp. I have the following questions:
1: I doubt this would harm the ballast, but if any of you think it will, please explain.
2: This might be a bad question, but MH ballasts
can be used on MV bulbs, right?
Thank you for your help!
