[kambo]

any idea, if i could  add  one or two more lamp to the chain with properly rated magnetic  ballast ?
kind a like tube heaters!

You could try...

If its a simple lamp ballast at some point too many flourescents in series will not see enough voltage across each to ionize the gas inside and start.

i should hit CJ he could wind me some at specific rate with multi outs may be


edit: i figured out... some reason those ballast suppliers not putting out clear info. i can actually connect 4
CFL to single rapid start electronic ballast without a problem.... just match the power rate  8)
