its not confusing the meter or changing anything other than efficiency. ballasts waste energy in heat and other defects. Those boxes basically handle electricity better. So if a ballast took 1kw it may use 75% of that for you. Those add on boxes make it so its using 100%. so it takes less electric to run it cause its using all it can get and costs less in the end. But for 500-1000 that they cost ive never bothered to investigate firsthand and dont think the 5 bucks a month youll save is worth another device/ fire risk being plugged in.
