Well I am not 100% sure what you are talking about, But I am kinda guessing. When you get a 400Watt, u dont have to have an Igniter, just a capacitor wired to your ballast.so would i still need one of those transistor things or whatever its called???
When u go to the grow store, u can ask them to wire your ballast to your normal 15amp house line. Than, all you have to do is plug your ballast into the wall.. You can also run some fans off the line as well. Your 400Watt, that is wired at 120V will initial draw more Voltage so less can run on the line but you can because the ballast draws 4.9amps for the first 15mins and than runs at 4.0amps (120V wired).
U still have alot of amps left over for fans etc..
