I read somewhere on the forum about people burning out their ballasts when trying to put in lower watt bulbs on lower power setting

I ran my HPS at half power with no problem, the MH bulb is steady, why would they sell dim-able ballasts if you had to have multiple bulbs.I read somewhere on the forum about people burning out their ballasts when trying to put in lower watt bulbs on lower power setting
I have no clue why someone would want to intentionally run lower then they paid for. I mean the equptment would last longer but still you buy assuming that.

I'm sure an expert will chime in soon.
I agree, I was just saying it didn't make sense to have to buy multiple bulbs.I'm not saying to buy multiple bulbs. Dimming a 1000 watt bulb is fine, but setting ballast to a lower setting and putting in a 600 watt bulb is supposed to be bad for it.
Ive never had to do it but it could help. Let me know how it works. Have you ever not done that?
Well its the same principle as what I recommend to outdoor growers who start indoors. Expose it to less sunlight at first but gradually more for 1 week until its fine to be out there until harvest.
I'm late, but i'm here for the Ride!!.. I was going to purchase some beans online, and GSC was one of my top choices. Very interested to see how this one turns out!

Well my MH seems to do fine at half power, its burning bright and steady and the spectrum looks correct.
