Hi,

Hmmm...don't know....maybe it will work. Just thinking how this would actually work...on an electrical basis...hmm hmm hmm...should work.

Try it out on some cheap tubes first....and in a normal configuration first (so that you can debug the "normal" electrical errors). The multimeter is basically used to read how much power the ballasts are consuming. Since the ballasts are electronic, they tend to have 95 to 99% efficiency. So, most of the power drawn from the power line is consumed by the lamps...hence you can calculation how much power you are overdriving by. Just setup the multimeter to measure AC current through the ballast.

Hope that helps.
