10,000w + ballast

[KiwiKing]

wasn't sure where to put this... anyway..

I was wondering, is there such thing as a 10,000 + watt ballast? Basically, is there a ballast that you could, say, plug 10 1000w lights into instead of using 10 separate ballasts? If there is such a ballast, is it cost effective; at what point does it become cost effective -- at 10 lights, 20, 50, ...100?

-- what is the purpose of a ballast, besides regulating the proper amount of electricity going to the bulb? Could a large ballast be built to accommodate several lights?

your best bet is to get something like this
Exolux Super Six - 6 x 600 Watt Timer Contactor

I'm not an electrician and unless you are i would not mess about with such a high volts plus iv'e never heard of such a ballast.
But this product or any other like it will help you too run alot of lights without any electrical mishaps
