Default A Nice Surprise

So today I went to J&L and bought some new ballasts for my T5's. I then got home and took apart my fixture. Now there was quite a surprise underneath the hood. My metal halides were wired in a series rather than on running on seperate ballasts. There was T5 ballasts already in the fixture that someone installed which was also hooked up to a 250 watt ballast. Very odd! I just ran a plug to the T5 ballast and it turns out the T5 ballasts work! Also I don't think my metal halides were running at a full 250 watts each. You never know what your buying when your buying used sometimes!
