I just bought the Sfiligoi fixture that come with a 1000w ballast. This ballast come with 2 box and a transformer. Inside the two box there is 4 x 250w Vossloh Schwabe high pressure soldium and MH Ballast (Made in Germany). It is using 220v, so i assumed that is the reason for the transformer. I guess my question is...

1. Is it normal to have 4x250w bridged together to run 1x1000w mh bulb?

2. Will it last or will have have problem in the long run with blowing fused due to the transformer or different voltage?

The reason i ask because i have seen a few Sfiligoi fixture has blowing fused problem and they all ended up changing the ballast.

3. How good is Vossloh Schwabe ballast (I mean in reliability)?

Thank you so much for your time.
