96 watt bulb...
I'm assuming that I somehow would take only three of the wires and run
the bulb off those, but I'm unsure how to arrange this exactly. That
would be about 72 watts?

D'oh! Sorry to reply to myself, but I started out with the wrong "max
voltage" for my calculation. The max volts for this ballast is 128
volts. So that would be 2 wires for 64 volts. I would cap off two
wires, connect the remaining two together and run that into the bulb,
right?

And that wouldn't hurt the bulb, to run at 64 volts? Would it even
make it last longer?

Thanks,

Kristen


Why don't you just replace the 96watt bulb with a 55watt. Re wire the way
fulham says. Your making assumptions about the wiring that are a little
dangerous. Also, dropping the voltage will burn the bulb out faster, that's
assuming it works at all.

Play it safe.
