In the words of Homer Simpson - DOH!!! Yeah, I guess that one went right over my head.... But anyhow, no, I will not be growing anything with these light unless dust bunnies and cobwebs count! LOL! Actually, while Googling and trying to figure out how to hook up these ballast I came across...

These lights will be used to illuminate a very high ceiling poll barn.... As to your other two questions.... ???? I'm confused.... Why would I be growing vegetables in my basement????

Hey all, thanks a lot for the all the great advice! Mark R, double thanks to you for the advice about the 2 pole switch! I have an additional question now...... Does a Ballast like this require it's own (dedicated) breaker/circuit or can I run 2, 240 Volt Ballast off 1 circuit?

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. What I am looking is for is the recomended way if you know of one. I mean, it's a multi-tap ballast and is built to have different voltages... It appears, that hooking a hot to common is the only way to hook it up. Here's a shot of the Wiring Diagram on...

In other words, the common wire tap will become a 120 leg?, the 240 wire-tap will become the other 120 leg? Then when the circuit is completed (closed) it will operate at 240 volt... Correct?

I purchased a Sylvania LU1000/Multi-Tap Ballast Kit and planned on hooking it up to 240 volt. The wiring has me a little stumped however. Multi-Tap means the samething as Multi-Volt more or less. This ballast has Taps for 277, 240, 208 and 120.. and there's also a common (all coming out of the...
