so i just bought a new ballast kit and bulb. it is decribed as HPS-400-5TAP - 400W HPS Ballast Kit 5-Tap S51 . any way what is the 5 tap mean?? im thinking its the voltage where you can switch up the volts to 120 to 220....i could be wrong.

Voltage: 5-Tap 120 / 208 / 240 / 277 / 480V

And most ballast can be re-wired to handle either 120v or 240v. Some fancy ballast features an external switch to do it.
