I've heard that digital ballasts interfere with radio signals. Is it then a problem with wireless internet, so that a house using 1600 w of digital ballasts would scramble the wireless internet signals?
it is not just ordinary wire, it is 'special' ;-)
its ordinary wire. wrapped per wire, and then the bundle of wrapped wires, are wrapped again in rubber. ive dissected and extended em on more than one occasion (not recommended.)
nothing special about the power cords.
high bandwith carriers, such as tv/internet cable, are shielded with a dielectric because HIGH BANDWITH can cause noise. not electricty thru a cord. thats called [electrically induced] magnetic lines of flux. magnetics, at the home and SMALL industrial levels will not interrput tv/radio/OR satellite.
yeah man
just didnt want people to get confused and such.
also, its not recommended to alter the length to power cords for ballasts.
theyre designed to work within a certain range of length of power cord.
thats why you dont see 35' cords available. and in some cases, you just have to adapt, improvise, and overcome. but id never recommend it.
I wouldn't recommend extending the cords from ballasts to shade past manufacturers specification.
I don't know the max range, but i do know the longer the line between light and ballast, the more loss of power, and the more inefficient it becomes.
Pay for shielded cable and whatever you do , BE SAFE!
hubcap, what are your thoughts on using a 30' lampcord? mag:cool0041:
