I have a question on overdriving a Flo bulb.
I have an eclipse 6 tank with a Hagan 12" 8w power-Glo bulb.I want to upgrade the lighting but do not have to many choises due to the weird shape and size of the hood. Is it possible to fit a different ballast to overdrive the fitted bulb 3 or 4x ??.My other option is to butcher the hood to try and fit in PC's.
Any ideas would be greatly apprec:).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">even if you hook up 4 wires you won't get 4X the out put.. I would say at best you could get about 18 to 20 watts out of that.. and your bulb life would be real short..

IMHO I would look for a way to put 1 or 2 23 watt PC's in instead.. it would be more intense and you could get a actinic and a 10000K in that size.
