Is it possable to splice in another light socket to an existing 400w setup and run two HPS off one ballast? i dont know if the ballast will power up two lamps. has anyone tried this.
 
Is that a firetruck I hear??

Why yes.. yes it is :)

BEfore you try it.. do you have REALLY good insurance?? I would check if I were you

Good luck & dont sleep in the same house you try this in..

No this is not a good idea....they need 1 ballast per light that is code...if you spice in you may run into trouble? I would not do this?

But GeenNerd420 might say go for it??? Do not listen to this dude he is out to damage people and their gardens with his useless info!!!
 
but to OP no as others said it wont work it will not catch fire but it wont light up bulbs
u can though run 2 groups of plants on different 12 hr periods and just switch ballast from one hood to the other or get a flip flop switch or make one
