Hello all. I recently bought a very nice, almost new, 1000w HPS with dimmable ballast. Only problem is, when I got home, I noticed the system was 240v. I really love the compact nature of this light, it fits perfect in 2 in 1 tent. There are no flanges for ducting for exhaust but I can just hang one above it or close. Plus it's dimmable to 600w if needed
So, after some research, I've purchased a "up/down 3000w converter". Seems legit and has good ratings but my question is, has anyone went this route over a typical 110v/120v? Would this be dangerous? And finally, would it be pulling 10v from the wall and converting it to 5v for the 240v, correct?
So I'm not really getting a "lower volt bonus" because technically it's still pulling 10v.
Anyways, all advice and info is appreciated. And thank you in advance!
