what would happen

would a 150w bulb blow up if you hooked it up to a 1000w balast.

I don't know what would happen, but will you get out a video camera and do that and post the results on youtube for us?

I suspect either the filament/gas tube thingy whatever it's called will blow up and the outer glass might also, or the fuse in the ballast may go.

no doubt, i'm too scared to try it in my closet, thats why i'm asking lol.

like your lil quote there...but uh, Bob Marley wrote that originally, not brad nowell... give the man some credit... R.i.P...BM...
