Hmm, me being an electrician all my life and never heard of that LOL. Never really paid much attn to florescents, just installed them. I think I will try that on my 29g. 2 24" bulbs in series. I too have ballasts here that I can afford to burn up HAHA
I guess one could take a 2 bulb 24" ballast and run one bulb, that'd be 2x overdriven, right? That just might be enough light for my 29g FW, or should I go 4x OD with 2 24" bulbs series? Last edited by banditpowdercoat; 01-12-2008 at 07:45 AM.

Never tried overdriving t-12's only the t8's.
My father is an electrician as well, and he honestly didnt think it would work. He stood on the other side of the room when we plugged them in. CAUTION: make sure you use electronic ballasts, not the older tar type, unless you want hot tar all over the walls ect. Starry

Ya, I noticed that in one thread. I was wondering that. Only have magnetic ballasts here
 They deffinately could melt. I dont know what the electronic ones are for internal components, but I am going to be getting myself a couple
