Can more than one light be connected to a single ballast if everything has the same rating, meaning .... two 400watt bulbs connected to a single 400watt ballast???

If two of those bulbs are hooked up, they need 800 watts. Don't quote me on that, that just seemed logical to me.

there is a heavy premium on double light ballasts, might wanna check out getting a high capacity contactor to run multiple ballasts off the one socket. They do them up the size when you can run 16 600w ballast from 2 sockets.
