Ballast power the lamps (tubes) so if you put 240 watt lamps they will still run at the 180 watt. If you do this the other way around you eat lamps quicker......if your in a regulated state its not legal either and if your not in a regulated state you should run the salon as if you where.......seems u got alot of reasearch to do.....GOOD LUCK POST OFTEN AND USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION TOP RIGHT SIDE OF SCREEN

240 WATT lamps are not very popular where did you get this idea/info from.

Your lamp wattage must match your ballast wattage.
