Default Need help with wiring on workhorse

Darren,

What about connecting 2 lamps in series. I have a WH7 and I played with various connetions and found that if I connected 2x 36" philips Atinics in series and then 2 wires to these, I got the best overdrive for the buck. I then used the left over 2 wires on a single Philips Daylight bulb, by over driving it, the spectrum "looks" more blue. This was the best setup could over drive 3 36" bulbs. I tried 4 bulbs (overdrivin 2 wires and in series) but the balast would not handle the load captain!!

What do you think is going on here?

Lee
