neptune apex and 800 watts

I have two 400 watt metal halides I plan to use . It has one ballast, so that one plug will have 800 watts. Can one of the outlets be used on the eb8 , without adding another energy bar? From what it reads, it says 8 outlets, 5 amp max. I think 800 watts would be closer to 8 amp??

THanks, before I order one, I would like to know if it can control it.

Outlets 4 and 8 are 10 amp outlets so you should be good.
