Re: G.E. Lighting

Going from a standard ballast to a high output ballastand high output bulbs 
will definately make a difference in both the amount of light as well as 
electricity used.  Of course the cost of the ballast and bulbs is also much 
higher.

Being a tightwad, excuse me, frugal, I look for the best light at the lowest 
cost.
