So up in my area we have been hit with alot of outages and power surges lateley due to snow storms. I was in my living room when the house's elec went down and all the lights dimmed for a few seconds at a time over and over and it got me thinking.
1. Can I use a home dimmer switch to control the outlet i use for my 1000w magnetic ballast HPS. Wouldnt being able to do so give you the option to run your 1000w at lower wattage like those expensive electonic ballast's?
2. Now if you are able to crank down the watts, when the light dimms wouldnt the light spectrum change also due to the bulbs filiment getting less power and heating to a lower temp. Wouldnt a HPS go even more into the red spectrum? Does this happen when you adjust a electronic ballast?
