    Im looking at getting either a dual 150w or a dual 250w current usa fixture. My question is do these fixtures come with ballasts? And if not would i have to buy 2 ballasts or just 1?

    I believe they do, but it should say so in the item description. Just for you general knowledge, generally you need two ballasts, one for each bulb, but there are some dual ballasts, such as the Galaxy Dual 250 which you can plug two bulbs into.
