The ballast i have goes from 400 to 1000. Right now the i have it on 420
but would like to push it to 500..possible? or would it pop explode and die?

You can put it up to 1000 and it will still blow
Why not get a bigger bulb?
What do you mean a MH isn't dimmable sure it isA MH isn't dimmable where as a hps is so to answer ur q a 400e will go to 400e man n 400e minimum.
Exactly!Wanna shorten lamp life (especially mh) ?
Dim your lamp.
the ballast doesn't matter dude it's the bulb..shits not supposed to be dimmed.read the phf I'd posted..shits illogical dudeWell there are MH ballasts that do allow dimming. It's just something that the ballast needs to support apparently.
For instance the: QUICKTRONIC® MH Metal Halide Dimming ballast
Just because you shouldn't do it doesn't mean that MH can't be 'dimmable'.Yup n if cunts read the pdf youll see the change in mh is cray cray different...seriously you cunts read the fucking pdf lol its silly that people still argue this shite when the interwebs has all the damn info in the clickidy clack of a mouse...im drunk if i offended anyone good you deserve to be offened if you think its a good idea to dim a mh,youre luvky that you house aint burnt down
