Upgrade / Modify Current Light - 150W to 250W
Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade a 48 inch Current USA Outer Orbit 2x150W MH w/ 2x130W Dual Actinic to a 250W MH lighting system? Would it be as "straight forward" as replacing the ballast only? Thanks!

It can be done, and there is a guy named DARG that does it, but I talked to the owner at current and he doesn't rec doing it.
Do at your own risk, but search for thread by DARG.
