    Wow second guess! You guys are good...

    But I do have a question, Can I run a halide off of these ballasts or are they for fulorescent only?

    No halides and fluorescents use different types of ballasts unfortunately.

    :( I prefer halides... But for this price I couldn't let the ballasts go!

    The lights that he gave are normal output so is the wiring the same if I switch to HO or VHO?

    Those ballasts can run NO, HO or VHO and any combination you want.
