Quick CF compatibility question
I have a dual 55watt ballast from custom sealife and wanted to know if I can run 2 32watt bulbs on it without killing the bulbs or such. Let me know, thanks.

well, i figured it would ignite the bulbs, what I am worried about is over driving the bulbs....ie, will I need to replace the bulbs more frequently or what?

The bulbs will regulate themselves and only draw the power required to light them. It will not shorten the life or overdrive them.
